Marana Schools' Family Resource Center - Helping Families Help Themselves

A hidden gem in the Marana District is the Family Resource Center (FRC). Dedicated to helping people help themselves, the FRC provides solutions to many challenges facing students and their families. The FRC provides a range of services, food, clothing, basic home and school necessities, and more through collaborative partnerships, grants, and donations. Throughout the year, special events, continuing education, and special activities for families are also offered through the FRC.

“The MUSD Family Resource Center provides services and programs to our students and their families to take away the barriers that prevent children from attending school and to support them to succeed,” said Jackie Franco, Student and Family Support Services Coordinator.

Threads & Treads Clothing Bank

Threads & Treads Clothing Bank has a complete selection of new or lightly worn clothes for students and families for everyday, school, work, special events, bad weather, and more! Families can also find new undergarments, socks, and shoes. 

Community Food Pantry

The MUSD Community Food Pantry provides emergency food assistance to families in our community. Families can access perishable and non-perishable food items, and seasonal food items when available. 

Toiletries, Hygiene & Diapers

The FRC has other toiletries and everyday hygiene items including:

• Shampoo and conditioner
• Soap
• Toothbrushes and toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Feminine products
• Diapers
• Incontinence products

School Supplies

Backpacks and school supplies are available throughout the year for Marana students. Each year hundreds of backpacks stuffed with supplies are given away to students and families at our Backpack and Resource Fair. Students are prepared for a successful start to the school year thanks to generous community partners and donors!
