Supporting Iowa County Families
Since 1993
Over 30 years later, that's still exactly what we do.
The Family Resource Center of Iowa County (FRC) began as a humble commitment to the parents and caregivers of our local communities. Since our founding in 1993, we have grown into a cornerstone nonprofit, serving as a warm, credible, and welcoming beacon for families navigating the beautiful complexities of early childhood.
Our roots are deep in the rural landscape of Southwest Wisconsin, where we understand that neighborly support is the heartbeat of a thriving community. We believe that every child deserves a strong foundation, and every caregiver deserves a non-judgmental space to connect, learn, and grow alongside their little ones.
For over three decades, we have remained true to our mission of empowerment. Through evidence-informed programs and compassion-led education, we provide the tools necessary for families with children ages 0 to 5 to flourish. We aren't just a resource; we are a community family, dedicated to the future of Iowa County.
