We want kids to be SAFE and SEEN this Summer. Thanks to our friends Sunny 95 for hosting the first Summer Block Party of the season in Upper Arlington. If you see FCCS in your neighborhood, ask about our free reflective gear and safety pledge to have a safer summer, especially when the sun goes down.

Summer is when childhood hunger is often highest. That's why FCCS is extending its vital partnership with Children’s Hunger Alliance to help more families secure consistent access to nutritious food. Severe food insecurity creates intense stress that can quickly push vulnerable families into crisis, increasing the risk of instability that can lead to child welfare involvement. Our partnership with CHA is key to early intervention, family preservation, and the long-term well-being of Franklin County youth.

Celebrating the “reel” impacts of mentors and caring adults at the 42nd Annual FCCS Volunteer Reception.
