History

Family Service Society, Inc. (FSSI) has been an integral part of the local community for 90 years.  Established in 1919, this community-based organization became incorporated in 1973 as a 501 (c)(3).  Throughout the first 25-30 years, FSSI provided basic needs and welfare services throughout Grant County for individuals from cradle to grave.  Services included child protection, adoption services, admission assessment for poor and elderly individuals going to the county home, utility, 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.
