Human Services
In 2006, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council created a vision of a place where the many non-profit social service groups that provide aid to our community would be centrally located, to provide resources and information on the many services and programs that are available to families.
Transformed from the facility that was once home to the Rancho Cuamonga Senior Center, the RC Family Resource Center is the one-stop shop for all your social services needs.

Located at 9791 Arrow Route, between Archibald and Hermosa. Hours of Operation Monday - Friday 9a.m. - 8p.m.
Please call 909-477-2781 for information on resources or being a service provider in the RC Family Resource Center.
