Welcome to the Local Familial
Even better than at home!

Welcome to the Local!

It’s often said that it takes a village to raise children.

The Local Familial is a non-profit organization whose mission is to offer just that: a vibrant community where families can come together, breaking isolation and fostering support. At the Local, kids often play independently while parents grab a coffee from our kitchen or sit down for a chat. We offer workshops, activities, and events to learn, play, and share.

Families can join with a monthly membership or simply drop in for the day. No reservations required—come as you are, when you need it.

Campaign to support the solidarity membership program

Accessibility is fundamental to our mission and values. We believe that all families should be able to benefit from a caring, nurturing, and supportive space regardless of their financial situation — particularly those experiencing periods of vulnerability or isolation.

However, without recurring subsidies, it's difficult to ensure accessibility for all. That's why we're launching a fundraising campaign to expand our solidarity membership program, which offers families for whom a regular membership is out of reach the opportunity to benefit from our space and services.

We are already supporting a few families with a solidarity membership at their request, and several partner organizations would like to refer more. Unfortunately, our current capacity is very llimited without more financial support.

With this campaign, our goal is for one in four families to eventually be able to access our services through a solidarity membership. Every contribution brings us closer to a more inclusive community where respite, social connection, and support are truly accessible to all.

One small gesture can make all the difference — both for these families and for the community we're building together.
