HFN provides programs and services that are child centered and family focused.
The purpose of HFN is to help parents access the resources and support they need

meet their family’s needs.

from low-income families. The Head Start program is operated by local non-profit
organizations in almost every county in the country. Children who attend Head
Start participate in a variety of educational activities. They also receive free
medical and dental care, have healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy playing
indoors and outdoors in a safe setting. Head Start helps all children succeed.
Services are offered to meet the special needs of children with disabilities.
