Our FHI buddy got to accompany our CHWs on some daily tasks yesterday!

A CHWs schedule is always changing and is often out in the community. Yesterday it included dropping off furniture to a family in our FHI truck!

Thank you, buddy, for helping us to make a change in the community!

FHI Community Health Worker, Orlando, wrapped up a parenting class series Make Parenting A Pleasure at Washington Elementary School in Woodburn. These parents were provided with the Early Learning Hub certification for their achievement in this class series.

Additional thanks to CHWs Leslie and April for supporting with several classes and facilitating alongside CHW Orlando. We have a great team at FHI and we are very thankful to these CHWs who are also parent educators in our community!

Congratulations to these parents and thank you for your participation and engagement!


Marion & Polk Early Learning Hub, Inc.

We are very thankful for the families that have been attending our Family Connections groups in Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties over the past several years.

These groups are great opportunities to gather in community, meet other families and children, engage in a social-emotional activity as a family, and receive a free meal. If you have not attended one yet, we encourage you to try something new this summer! Stay up-to-date with Family Connections groups days, times, and registration links by following us here on social media!

Happy June!

Mark your calendars for our June 2026 events in Marion, Polk, and Yamhill County. ☀️💐
