Welcome to the Fox Valley
Newcomer Project Community Map!
The data used to create this map was gathered from December 2023-March 2024. This map shows the organizations
and
services in the Fox Valley which support immigrants and refugees as they resettle in the area.
Each sector shows what is available and reflects the perspectives of Newcomers as well as organizations.
