resource centers
Places offering assistance
Resource centers are facilities or organizations that provide information, support, and services on specific topics or for particular populations.
A campus might have a women's resource center or a career resource center.
The term often appears in social services, education, and healthcare contexts, where such centers connect people with expertise, materials, or assistance they need.
