A new program will be available to help teach county residents parent skills and strengthening family relationships through Families and Communities Together.

Marion County FACT received a $3,000 grant from Central Kansas Community Foundation’s L. Marie Haun Charitable Fund for Children to help fund its Growing Family Connections project.

The program will incorporate seven monthly, two-hour classes at different locations around the county.

Classes will include a meal, child care during the meeting, and a family activity at the end of each class with children joining their parents.
