Approximately 125 - 140 families (250+ children) access FVC’s safe supervised visitation and exchange services each month. Approximately 95% of the children served by FVC come from low- to moderate-income families; a number of them living in the core area (Pettigrew Heights/Axtell Park) of the city.
