Welcome to
Friendship. Childcare. Community.
Raising kids isn’t easy—but you don’t have to do it alone!
Whether you're a brand new parent, your family recently moved to Portland, or you’re simply hoping to grow your support network, Family Friend is here to connect you with others who get it.
We’re a collective of parents, caregivers, grandparents, and friends offering real support, shared experiences, and local resources to help you feel more confident and connected in family life.
Inside our growing community, you’ll find:
•Trusted caregiver referrals
•Friendly support from people who’ve been there
•A safe space to ask questions, swap ideas, and offer what you know
•Events curated for members and their interests
•Helpful hand-me-downs, giveaways, and discounts
Family Friend offers a better way to find your people. Online parent groups can be a lifeline, but on social media, they often come with strings attached. Chaotic threads, unclear rules, and a constant sense that your personal information is on display can make these spaces feel more public than supportive. For families, that just doesn’t cut it.
Family Friend is a more intentional alternative. Members join through a simple sign-up process, and we actively moderate every space to keep conversations kind, relevant, and truly helpful. Our chats don’t sit idle; they’re regularly maintained and curated to stay alive with useful tips, local happenings, and real-world meetups based on your interests or neighborhood.
Here, families can access trustworthy information, make genuine connections, and find resources that actually make life easier, including support in finding childcare, events, and community recommended services. It’s all in one welcoming, well-organized space, made just for you.
