Throughout our history, Family Services has provided critical assistance to people facing challenges in their lives, ranging from behavior health diagnosis to children needing foster care. One of the organization’s early mottos “To Get the Right Thing Done” still applies to our current work.
Family Services provides life-changing programming to individuals and families throughout our region, while also spearheading important research and collaborations with other human service agencies. One of the reasons Family Services is able to meet the diverse needs of the people in our community is because we have developed many strong and supportive partnerships.
We are also fortunate to have the support of many individuals who believe in our mission. But we cannot do this work without the generous donations of people like you. A variety of giving opportunities exist at Family Services of Western Pennsylvania.
