Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are community hubs for all families to access supports and opportunities. FRCs help families connect with existing resources such as healthcare, food, and nutrition support or clothing. They help caregivers feel more supported in and informed about the important responsibility of raising children. FRCs are responsive to the needs of the community, which may look different in various parts of the County.
The Bridge Center is more than a building—it’s a vision brought to life by the people of Pelican Rapids. We’re a vibrant hub where young people, families, and neighbors of all ages come together to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you're here to lead, learn, cook, create, or connect, this is your space. Every person deserves a chance to thrive and every voice has a place at our table.
New York Mills is a charming and genuine community of rich heritage, friendly people, safe neighborhoods, and great opportunities.

The people of New York Mills take pride in calling it home, value service towards one another, and are involved and committed to the community's history of progress and success.

Joe Beckman visits New York Mills
Joe Beckman spent the day connecting with nearly 800 K–12 New York Mills students, sharing encouraging messages about connection, relationships, and showing up for one another.
Later that evening, over 130 students, parents, grandparents, educators, daycare providers, and community members attended our Parent & Community Event, bringing together a wide variety of people who are invested in supporting strong families and meaningful connection.
Joe shared a powerful message on the importance of human connection, practical ways to reduce cell phone dependency, and challenged families to identify their core values and intentionally strengthen relationships through those values.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event so impactful. We’re grateful for your support and investment in stronger families and our community!
