Family & Children’s Center’s history dates back to 1881 when the Committee for the Wisconsin Humane Society of La Crosse was formed, in part to protect neglected and abused children and widows. The Committee evolved and merged with other programs over the years and became the Family Service Association in 1972 to reflect its emphasis on counseling for families, couples and individuals. In 1983, the Family Service Association merged with the La Crosse Home for Children to become Family & Children’s Center.
