After 23 years of dedicated service, our beloved CEO Kay Ruhstaller is retiring — and what a legacy she leaves behind. 💛

Under Kay's leadership, Family Resource Center grew from a community resource into a regional economic engine, expanding child care access, launching 211 San Joaquin, and creating a countywide network of programs that reaches thousands of children and families every year.

Kay didn't just build programs — she built people, partnerships, and possibilities. From the First 5 Commission to the CA Early Childhood Policy Council, she consistently showed up for children and families at every level.

"Leading FRC has been one of the great privileges of my life." — Kay Ruhstaller

Kay, we celebrate everything you've given to our community. The kids and families of San Joaquin County are better off because of you. 💙 FRC's leadership transition is underway, and we look forward to sharing exciting news in the months ahead. Stay tuned!

We had the pleasure of attending the Investing in Play & Possibility Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Children’s Museum of Stockton on February 24, 2026.

The event underscored the powerful connection between play and education. Interactive, hands-on environments like this museum create meaningful opportunities for children to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and confidence in a setting designed just for them.

Congratulations to the Family Resource Center on the unveiling of the information exhibit.

This new resource will help connect families to essential services and support networks throughout San Joaquin County.
