Family Strengths Network to mark 30 years at Summer Splash
Summer Splash will fill 3540 Orange St. on June 26 and 27 as Family Strengths Network marks 30 years of its Family Resource Center.
Los Alamos families looking for child care support, summer activities and a place to connect will have a two-day stop at 3540 Orange St. later this week, when Family Strengths Network hosts Summer Splash on June 26 and 27. The event will also mark 30 years of the Family Resource Center, the physical home of FSN’s programming, community connections and Toy Lending Library.
FSN says it has served Los Alamos and Northern New Mexico since 1989 through the Family Resource Center and its programs. On its June 2026 homepage, the organization says this year makes 30 years of having the Family Resource Center and calls Summer Splash extra special because it is celebrating the center’s birthday.
That anniversary carries real weight for parents who need more than a seasonal diversion. The Family Resource Center is described by United Way of Northern New Mexico as more than a play space, but as an anchor for families seeking connection and support. FSN says partner funding helps it offer free programs and resources, including Toddler Craft, Family Yoga, Family Yoga/Move With Me, monthly playdates, Toddler Tunes, clothing swaps, support groups, parenting classes and resource connections. The biannual Clothing Swap helps families stretch their budgets.
The milestone also reflects how deeply FSN is woven into the county’s support network. The organization was created around a kitchen table in October 1989 by concerned parents hoping to stop child abuse in the community, and a 2020 profile said its funding came from multiple sources, including Los Alamos County, Los Alamos School District, Con Alma, United Way and the Delle Foundation. At that time, about half of its yearly budget came through Los Alamos County.
Summer Splash is therefore more than a birthday celebration. It is a reminder that one of Los Alamos’ longest-running family support institutions is still active, still rooted at a physical neighborhood site and still offering the kind of practical help many households need to get through summer and the year beyond.
