programs & services of fpo
"From the very first FPO meeting, I was hooked! I had been searching for a place to feel like I belonged and seeking to find people who understood my feelings and what I was going through as a parent. I always enjoyed the professional advice and the personal experiences of others from FPO. The support FPO has given me throughout the last five years has enriched the lives of both me and my children. I love attending FPO meetings because they provide free meals and also have team members to watch your children so that you can focus on the meetings. I especially enjoyed the topics on money management and how to coupon. Thank you, FPO for everything you do for my family and the community."
