Thanks to the incredible support from compassionate and caring people like you, critical services were delivered to thousands of children, families, adults, and seniors through Family & Children’s Agency (FCA) in 2025.

• Partnered with the Latinx Integrated Care (LINC) program to better serve Spanish-speaking immigrant students in Norwalk Public Schools
• Launched a prom closet to provide no-cost formalwear to students
