Imagination Station

The Open Doors Imagination Station provides parents with a scheduled break to focus on their well-being, offering safe, nurturing care for children up to once per week. This free service is open to all families and aims to support parents in maintaining a healthy balance, ultimately preventing the need for crisis services. Our goal is to create a space where parents can recharge, knowing their children are in good hands.

The Nursery

Circles Program

The Circles Program helps individuals and families transition from surviving to thriving by offering long-term support and mentorship. Starting with a 12-week class, participants build a new network of peers and mentors, setting goals that empower them to break down barriers to personal and financial independence. With weekly meetings in Centerville and Clearfield, Circles is a life-changing opportunity to build lasting success and strengthen your future.

Case managers assist with job placement, education, and referrals to community programs, guiding participants toward a path of self-reliance. This program is designed to help overcome obstacles and build long-term success.

With a focus on empowering families to find their place, this program helps those facing housing instability regain stability and independence.

Open Doors Utah began in 1982 as a small respite care nursery and has since expanded in response to the growing needs of low-income families in Clearfield. What started as a nursery evolved into a food bank, and later into the Community Action Building in Layton. Committed to helping families overcome poverty, Open Doors Utah empowers people to realize their worth in the community through programs like the Family Support Program, food bank services, homelessness prevention, emergency assistance, self-sufficiency initiatives, Circles Davis County, Toys for Tots, VITA tax preparation, a crisis/respite nursery, and parent education.
