Legacy Family Center

By connecting families to vital resources and building pathways to self-sufficiency, we foster resilient communities--and invite volunteers to help us build a lasting legacy of hope, equity, and belonging.

Legacy Family Center: Building a Legacy of Empowerment

Our Story

Founded in 2013, Legacy Family Center was born from a vision to uplift West African refugee and immigrant families in Minnesota. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a trusted community anchor-offering holistic, culturally grounded support that meets families where they are and walks with them toward where they want to be.

Our Mission

We empower families to thrive by providing culturally appropriate services in education, workforce development, wellness, and social service navigation. Our goal is to minimize systemic barriers and foster self-sufficiency, dignity, and belonging.
