RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - First, the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership expresses our sincere empathy for everyone who have been affected by COVID-19.  This pandemic has had a local and global impact.

We also send our deep appreciation to the healthcare workers, first responders, essential sites, and governments agencies on the front lines working to contain this virus. As we continue to deal with the current realities facing our community with the COVID-19 outbreak, FCCP would like to communicate a few important things and ask you for your help.

Office Closures

FCCP has closed its offices to the public until further notice.  In response to the County and State "Stay in Residence" orders, only essential core staff will be in office.

We Are Still Providing Services

FCCP is a vital connection point for vulnerable and at-risk residents.  That makes us an "essential site" and we will continue to serve our community; just in a different way.   Even though our Family Resource Center and Job Center are closed to the public, our staff are teleworking to ensure continued direct services are being offered; with more coming on line every day.

Here are some of the creative ways we continue to serve our community during this crisis:

  • Our Home Visitation services are happening via video and tele-conferences.
  • Our Family Resource Center parenting workshops are happening via one-on-one video conferences.
  • Our Safety Net, Family Self Sufficiency and Energy Help services are still happening via telephone and by appointment in-person appointments when needed (while practicing social distancing).
  • Our America's Job Center staff are helping customers fill out Unemployment claims and job searches via telephone and video conferences.
  • Our Youth Mentors are continuing to check in and support youth via video chats.

              We are still here to assist you! Please see our contact information:
