Family and Children Services, an organization focused on supportive community action around children and families, is selling its building in Battle Creek at 778 W. Columbia Avenue.
But, CEO Diane Marquess tells Community Matters, the sale will not lessen its commitment to its mission in Battle Creek. Instead, she says, it’s more of a post-COVID change in work posture.
With origins all the way back to 1903, the organization’s Battle Creek roots include the Michigan Children’s Aid Society, established in 1917.
