Peggy Stoltenberg named new Family Resource Center executive director

Peggy Stoltenberg was named the Family Resource Center’s new executive director, a shift that matters most not at the organization’s office, but in the homes of Sterling and Logan County families who rely on local help when basic needs start to pile up.

The Family Resource Center is the kind of nonprofit that sits close to the center of family support work in a smaller community. The executive director sets the tone for how the organization serves residents, how it raises money, and how it communicates with schools, churches, donors, volunteers, and other service providers. For families trying to line up practical help, that leadership role can shape how quickly they are connected to services and how easy the center is to find and trust.

Stoltenberg’s arrival also signals a new chapter for an organization whose work touches everyday pressures that do not stay neatly inside one category. Parents may be looking for food assistance, transportation help, parenting support, referral needs, or crisis support. In Logan County, where many residents depend on relationships between local agencies rather than large regional systems, the executive director’s job can influence whether those connections are active, visible, and responsive.

The change in leadership may bring continuity, fresh energy, or both. Either way, Stoltenberg inherits a position that carries weight beyond the Family Resource Center itself. Her decisions will help shape day-to-day operations and long-term priorities, which can affect how the center talks to the public about family well-being, prevention, and early intervention.

That matters in Sterling, where residents often judge a nonprofit by whether it shows up when families need it most, and in outlying communities such as Crook, Fleming, and Iliff, where access can depend on how well an organization reaches beyond its main office. As Stoltenberg takes the helm, the practical question for Logan County families is straightforward: will the center become easier to reach, more visible in the community, and better connected to the schools, churches, and service providers that many households turn to first?
