Our Story
Founded in 2012, About Families Inc. was created to fill a gap in accessible, community-driven resources for parents in the Coachella Valley. What began as a small group of families supporting each other has grown into a thriving network that serves over 300 families annually. From prenatal care to preschool, we’re here for every step of your parenting journey.
