ABOUT US
Mission - History - Governance - Community Partners - Employment
The mission of Family Service Society, Inc. is to encourage, empower, and educate; individuals, families, and communities to improve their quality of life.
Family Service Society, Inc. views the family primarily in terms of its function in society. Consequently we believe a family consists of two or more people, whether living together or apart, related by blood, marriage, or adoption. We also believe everyone requires and deserves the loving environment of a caring family, which serves as the cornerstone of our mission.
History
Family Service Society, Inc. (FSSI) has been an integral part of the local community for over 90 years. Established in 1919, this community-based organization became incorporated in 1973 as a 501(c) 3. Through the first 25-30 years FSSI provided basic and welfare services in Grant County for individuals from cradle to the grave. Services included child protection, adoption services, admission assessment for poor and elderly individuals going to the county home, utilities, food, clothing needs, and referral for community services. Following those early years, counseling and programs assisting families and individuals in daily living adjustment and mental health needs were developed.
