Malvern Family Resource Centre

Malvern Family Resource Centre (MFRC) is an essential and trusted Community Hub that connects, engages, and takes collaborative action in supporting our communities to thrive. We use our public spaces, and our deep and authentic connections, to bring people together with a focus on those that need us the most. In 2024 MFRC provided impactful, holistic, and highly accessible programs and services to 19,000 children, youth, families, women, newcomers, and seniors. Our children’s program supports young and school-aged children to get a great start. Our Malvern Urban Farm drives fresh food access, with our Youth Hubs providing a safe and welcoming space for young people to connect. Our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility team delivers targeted programming that focuses on building more equitable and just communities. We offer counseling and resources for survivors of gender-based violence and our older adult members engage in social, educational, physical and mental wellness programs. Finally, our newcomer programs engage and support new community members through language classes, cultural orientation workshops, employment assistance and community engagement activities.
