Family Access Memberships

Subsidized memberships are available to families that qualify through public assistance or certain education programs. Check the list below to see if you qualify. Family Access memberships are available for a minimum of $15, but we ask that families give as much as they are able. Families able to pay a little more will allow us to serve more in need. This discounted rate is made possible by community gifts to the Access for Everyone campaign.

These memberships are available online, in-person, by phone or by mail (see “Four Options to Join or Renew” section above). Membership benefits will apply to the qualifying family and caregivers. Families may continue to renew at this level as long as they continue to qualify under these programs.

NEW! We no longer require documentation to register as a Family Access member, but please list your qualifying program(s) on your registration form.

Don’t qualify but are interested in helping? If you would like to make a gift to support Family Access memberships, please click here!
