Our Mission:
Strengthening Families - Now and for the Future

Our Story

The Box Elder Family Support Center is a vital nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families and preventing child abuse throughout Box Elder County, Utah. Since opening our doors in Brigham City in 1995, we have remained committed to providing compassionate, accessible support that helps families thrive today and for generations to come. What began as a small community resource has grown into a trusted, county‑wide network of care that families rely on during their most challenging moments.

Our mission “Strengthening Families Now and For the Future” is the foundation of every program we offer, every partnership we build, and every family we serve. We believe that when parents and caregivers have the tools, resources, and support they need, children are safer, families are stronger, and communities become more resilient.

At the Box Elder Family Support Center, we understand that families face a wide range of challenges—financial stress, parenting struggles, mental health concerns, unexpected crises, and more. No family is immune to hardship, and no one should have to face those hardships alone. That is why we provide a safe, welcoming environment where parents can find relief, children can find safety, and families can find hope.

With locations in both Brigham City and Garland, we offer free, family‑-centered services designed to meet the diverse needs of our community. These services include crisis and respite nursery care, parent education, emergency assistance, and supportive programs that empower families to build healthier relationships and more stable homes. Our staff responds with empathy, respect, and confidentiality, ensuring that every family feels valued and understood.

As proud members of the Family Support Centers of Utah, we work collaboratively with statewide partners to prevent child abuse, reduce family conflict, and strengthen community well‑-being. This network allows us to share resources, expand our reach, and ensure that families in Box Elder County have access to the highest quality support available.

For over three decades, the Box Elder Family Support Center has stood as a pillar of safety, compassion, and community strength. And as we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: to help families grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient.
