Family and Nutrition Hubs (FaNHubs)

The Family and Nutrition Hubs (FaN Hubs) in Merced County was created to assist Family Childcare Providers, from our community, to become a place where the children in their care, their families, and their neighbors can find healthy food and resources. Our mission is to make these child care sites a community partner who will aid our goal to give children (ages 0-5) and their families access to healthy and nutritious food.

As part of our FaN Hub initiative, we partner with local child care providers throughout Merced County including in the cities of Merced, Atwater, and Winton.
