Dear Families,

As a follow-up to our recent communication, we are writing to confirm that the Niagara County Family Opportunity Center will close effective April 30, 2026. As a result, there will be no further programming or open play at the center.


We know this space has been meaningful to many families, and we are grateful for the time, trust, and connection that has been built there.


While the center is closing, EPIC – Every Person Influences Children remains committed to supporting families in Niagara County. Our Families in Transition (FIT) and Parent Partner Program will continue to operate in the community, providing support, connection, and resources.
