COUNTY OF MERCED

Californians believe that our state's children are a top priority. That's why in 1998 voters passed Proposition 10, adding a 50-cent tax to each pack of cigarettes sold to create First 5 California, also known as the California Children and Families Commission. First 5 California is dedicated to improving the lives of California's young children and their families through a comprehensive system of education, health services, childcare, and other crucial programs. Since its creation a decade ago, First 5 California has brought these critical services to millions of parents, caregivers, and children ages 0 to 5, and we're striving to reach thousands more every day... Enhancing the lives of children by building strong partnerships within our community and with the families we serve.
