About the FRN The mission of the Doddridge County Family Resource Network is to promote the health and well-being of all Doddridge County citizens, empowering the local community to identify their needs and implement action plans. The FRN then brings agencies, organizations and individuals together to collectively seek the resources necessary to allow the community’s solutions to become a reality. The FRN thus acts as a clearing house for other organizations and a source of information for the individuals they serve. This guide is not intended to be a local business directory or comprehensive telephone book. Its scope is limited to those services and agencies deemed essential or useful for the quality of life of Doddridge County’s families and citizens, particularly those facing economic hardships or other unusual challenges.
