Our work spans across the five social determinants of health.
We work to help people where they are now, and help them develop a sustainable path for future well-being.
Family Service’s programs prepare children to be school ready, encourage youth to stay in school, support home-bound older adults in maintaining their independence, empower people to stabilize their finances, and transform individuals and families to strengthen our communities. By having programs across the five pillars of social determinants of health — economic stability, education, health and healthcare, neighborhood supports, and social and community engagement – we provide support across different facets of people’s lives.

COVID-19 Impact
Throughout the pandemic, Family Service remained open with all of our services completing their sessions and curriculum.
We exist to help people in times of crisis and need. COVID-19 threw into stark light the challenges many in our community had already been experiencing, and it only exacerbated these challenges. We journey with our clients, helping them go from crisis mode to living a happy, healthy, stable life.
Family Service remains the family our community counts on.
At the height of COVID-19:
- We helped an average of 1,900 families weekly
- We saw an 800% increase in emergency assistance requests
- We conducted weekly touch bases with our families.
Together, we can ensure the families of our community are happy, healthy, and stable.
