First 5 Fox Valley prepared to open a new family resource center after a $2 million state-supported buildout
First 5 Fox Valley held a ribbon cutting for a new Appleton-area family resource center designed to give young children and families a place to play, learn and connect with support services. The project received a $2 million Wisconsin state grant, and the organization said the center could begin welcoming families as early as the following week.
