DOGE Cuts Force Family Resource Center in Central California to Pause Operations
A social services organization active across California is pausing operations at its Family Resource Center in Madera County due to DOGE cuts.
“This cut significantly impacts the services offered and, as a result, we regret to inform you that the Family Resource Center’s services will be paused until further notice,” First5 Madera County said. “We will let you know if or when our services return.”
First5, which has centers statewide, provides help to families with children age 5 and under. The organization’s Family Resource Centers provide weekly playgroups for young children, 12 weeks of free preschool, developmental screenings and referrals to other resources for families. “Unfortunately, this impacts all programming, including Pre-Kindergarten Learners, Little Learners, Play & Learn Groups and (Family Resource Center) on Wheels,” the organization said on its Facebook page.
