2014
WFC Celebrated its 25 Year Anniversary!
To celebrate, WFC partnered with local businesses to host family dinner nights, gift basket giveaways, and much more. They provided school staff luncheons for the schools that they partner with in Hunterdon, Warren, Morris and Union counties, as well as thanking the Board of Education, their staff, and families!

2008
Launched Administrative Services for districts operating their own Programs.
Many districts had their own before and after school programs, but needed assistance with the administrative portion of their programs. WFC had the experience to take over these tasks, so the district could focus on the students and the programs. WFC still offers these services!
