Family Resource Guide
Your go-to guide for family activities in the North State, Upper California region. Spring/Summer 2021, Serving Butte, Glenn, Shasta, Siskiyou & Tehama Counties.
This twice-annual print edition is an invaluable go-to for families looking to find helpful resources to enrich their lives
and plan their days. Inside, you’ll find ideas for getting safely out in nature, saving money on groceries, finding great birthday party destinations, eating well, choosing the best school for your children, getting support for the challenges of parenting, and more!
Keep the Guide with you as you navigate the next six months, and make sure to keep checking our website and digital editions each month. These are rapidly changing times, and we are with you as they change, making sure we are your reliable, steady source for nurturing children and strengthening families.
Building and supporting strong communities all over the region is an important part of the mission at North State Parent, a free publication staffed with local parents and others who take this mission seriously. As part of the mission, this year we have supported more than 97 nonprofit organizations and continue
to highlight local advertisers and businesses, further strengthening the larger community. For the past 28 years, we have been working hard to promote respect for children and families, and this year, in spite of the many challenges created by the pandemic, the work continues.
Because you are reading this now, we know you also believe in the power of a strong community, and you can help us grow. If you know of a good resource we have not included in these pages, please let us know. If you’re a business or service that shares the desire to also promote a positive family life we’d welcome you to join with us!
With care & respect,
& the North State Parent magazine team
On The Cover: North State Parent is delighted to feature this illustration by renowned artist Alli Arnold. She has captured the simple joy of shopping at our many farmers markets, where families can spend an hour or most of the day, picking up all sorts of delicious locally made and grown foods, and mingling safely with their friends and neighbors. Alli also illustrates for The New York Times, Boston Globe, Travel + Leisure and Real Simple. Photo by Chris Zuppa for The Penny Hoarder.
