FRNs represent an important partnership between state government and local communities to identify current needs and develop an implementation plan to meet them. UWFRN serves as a primary coordinating and planning body for Monongalia County’s community service system. Rather than providing direct services, the UWFRN performs several important roles impacting children and families:
Identifies community needs and gaps in services
Builds community capacity to address identified needs
Promotes public awareness regarding policies and issues
