About Fox Valley Family Friends
Fox Valley Family Friends is a program designed to help bring families together at the earliest stages of their journeys. Through casual meetups, shared experiences, and opportunities to build friendships with other families in a similar life stage, we help parents find community and support in their early days of parenthood.
While many families meet others through preschool, sports teams, or other activities that bring people together through shared routines, these opportunities are limited in the first few years of a child’s life. Fox Valley Family Friends was created to offer connection during that earlier period — so you don’t have to wait for school drop-off or soccer practice to begin building relationships with other parents.
