The Pillager Family Center currently serves as a “go-to” for community members.  With two offices we serve as the liaison between Cass County and the Pillager School District.  Our main office houses our Food Shelf and many County forms and references a community member might need.  In addition we offer teleconference video services with County workers, WIC Clinics, Food Shelf, MAC and NAPS distribution, and serve as an information spot.  Our satellite office is adjacent to the Pillager Elementary School.  From here we coordinate the Little Huskies Daycare, Early Childhood Family Education programs, ECSE, Pre-school, and Head Start.   Because we are so centrally located in two different locations, we are able to meet our communities needs in ways other entities may not.

Parking is available in front of the Family Center doors on the south side of Pillager City Hall.
