The Friends of Boone County Family Resources was founded in 1990 to promote the development of and provide support for Boone County Family Resources, a local agency that helps meet the challenges people with developmental disabilities and their families face every day. 

The Friends are incorporated in the State of Missouri by the Secretary of State.  A Board of Trustees, consisting of Boone County residents, oversees Friends’ activities.

The Friends’ resources are used in response to unique challenges and individual needs for which other suitable funding is not readily available.  Donations to the Friends are tax deductible.

Each year, the Friends sponsor agency events including the Annual Holiday Party.  This year over three hundred guests including the families we serve, staff, board members, community leaders, and friends were in attendance.
