Our History

Creating Safe Homes 

Rev. Frank L. McSwain was a community leader who guided and counseled families during difficult times, particularly those experiencing domestic violence and abuse. Rev. McSwain believed in creating safe and stable environments for families and children. He recognized that separating children from their parents due to domestic violence or child abuse was detrimental to their emotional, developmental, and educational growth. Thus in 2004, he founded the Family Community Resource Center out of a desire and a passion for serving families in crisis, preserving the family structure, and improving the relationship between IDCFS and families. Since then, The FCRC has offered programs and services to prevent and raise awareness of Domestic Violence and connect families to IDCFS resources. His dedication to family support and preservation resulted in building a respected agency that has helped thousands of individuals improve their lives.

Help Families Flourish

Rev. McSwain's vision of preserving the structural integrity of families and compassion for all lives at FCRC in our new vision to create a community where all families flourish. Our founder's passion established the Safe Homes pillar and laid the foundation for the Healthy Lifestyle and Self-sufficiency pillars of the FCRC’s work. The global pandemic and economic recessions revealed the importance of building upon Rev. McSwain's legacy of supporting families in crisis. Our team of compassionate individuals shares this vision, and we will continue working towards bettering hundreds and thousands more lives.
