We couldn't be more proud of our partnership with Simply Clear Marketing, Inc. on our website. They put so much heart and talent into not only helping to shape our vision but it make it come to life. Congrats, Simply Clear team, on this important recognition for a job very well done! 🎉

The Family Care Network, Inc. website brought home a Silver Davey Award this year, and it’s a recognition that feels especially meaningful to us. ♥️

Nonprofits make up a big part of our client family, and we take the responsibility seriously. FCNI’s mission is powerful, and we’re grateful to support their work in a way that elevates their impact.

This project came to life through the work of many talented team members including our Creative Director, Marcus Cheek, and our Senior Developer, Aidan Weber.

It’s Friday—and the momentum behind Give Joy is incredible! 💛

Because of supporters like you, more families are getting the chance to provide holiday gifts, meals and momentos to create memories, and essential winter items for their kids' comfort.

But we’re not done yet.
So many youth and families are still hoping for a little joy—something to remind them they live in a compassionate community-- that they're supported and not alone during this complex season.

Let’s carry this momentum into the weekend.
YOU can change everything. Give Joy today.

Holiday magic has officially arrived at Family Care Network! ✨🎄

Our staff decorated our SLO lobby—creating a warm, welcoming space for the youth and families we support and our hardworking team and partners.

It may look like fun (because it absolutely was!), but it’s also a reflection of the care and intention we bring to every part of our work.

A joyful environment matters—especially during the holidays.

Thank you for helping us make this season brighter for those who need it most.

We want to give a BIG THANK YOU to For Goodness Cakes Central Coast, Grace Central Coast and McAlister Training for contributing their time, talent, and hearts to our Thanksgiving event last week. Every year, we partner with our community to make sure our older current and former foster youth who are working hard to become independent adults can enjoy a delicious holiday meal together. 🧡🤲This year was truly special. We especially loved watching the McAlister Team work so hard to make the evening so successful and fun. We love our Central Coast community!
