Who we are – and how to connect with us!
Family and Home Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 1984 by three at-home mothers. We know that parents meet their caregiving and income-earning responsibilities in many ways, and we advocate for equitable support for all kinds of care for children—including care by parents themselves.

JOIN Family and Home Community
Our online community is for parent-to-parent connection. Explore and choose topics that interest you, join (or start) discussions on big issues or chat about anything. Explore our resource lists and help us add to them.
We’re using Mighty, a powerful tool for community-building. Let us know you’re a real person by answering a few questions, then one of our volunteers will let you in (we aim to do this in less than 24 hours).
We hope to meet you there!
