Important Update for Our Cattaraugus County Family Opportunity Center Families

We want to share an important update about the future of the Cattaraugus County Family Opportunity Center.

Families received an email today with more detailed information, please take a moment to review it if you haven’t already.

We recently learned that New York State funding for Family Opportunity Centers will end on April 30, 2026 due to a statewide reduction. This decision is not related to our performance or the impact of this work, but it does affect services like those offered through our center.

The Cattaraugus County Family Opportunity Center has been a place where families can connect, access support, and build relationships within the community.

Please know this: we are continuing to meet with funders and explore what may be possible.

While we do not yet have confirmed funding in place, we will keep you updated in the days and weeks ahead as we have more to share.

Want to help?
You can support Family Opportunity Center programming by making a donation: Make an EPIC Donation here: https://www.epicforchildren.org/product/EPIC-Donation

You can also share your story. If the center has been meaningful to your family, we would welcome hearing from you. Please email Monica directly at [email protected]. Your stories help demonstrate the importance of this work as we continue conversations with community and state partners.

Have questions? We’re here for you.
Monica Richardson will be available by phone on Tuesday, March 24 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at 716-332-4144. You can also reach her anytime at [email protected].

We know this news may feel uncertain. Thank you for your support, your trust, and for being part of this community. 💚💙
