Original coverage via WTYE with Tony Collins.
Ann Oswalt (Birth to Five Illinois: Region 12 Council Manager) and representatives from Robinson First United Methodist Church and The NOW! Program go on air to discuss an upcoming Resource Block Party. They have invited over 15 organizations to share what services are available in the Crawford County community. In a 2023 Early Childhood Needs Assessment, Birth to Five Illinois uncovered that families and providers did not always know what was available to them as they raised young children. This event intends to provide information to families in spaces where they already are.
