BERLIN — Visitors, staff and guests to a ribbon cutting ceremony ushered in the new locations and offices of The Family Resource Center of Northern New Hampshire in downtown Berlin on Tuesday morning.
The three locations give a fresh start to the non-profit organization: The coordination of client services with the offices physically closer on Main Street make it better for children and caregivers. Employee morale gets a boost, too, in new office settings and ease of communication among the agency’s employees.

Welcome to Main Street! Since we opened A Place for Us on Main Street at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church we've appreciated what an ideal location Main Street is. It's central to the community, easy to find, and has many resources all close by, not to mention good food! The Family Resource Center has always had a great set of programs. It will be wonderful to have you so close by. Rev. Betsy Hess
