Where We Are

Family Service Agency serves as an "umbrella agency" of five distinct community programs: Children's Advocacy Center, School-Based & Youth Programming, Center for Counseling, Senior Services, and Community Action Program. We organize the efforts of many local agencies to provide the best care possible to our community.

FSA's partnership and support was invaluable to us when our schools experienced the violent death of a student and multiple incidents of community violence. FSA wrapped our schools and staff in crisis support and developed pathways to ongoing support for students in need. FSA is committed to healthier school communities and supports D428 to serve all students and families in need.

Their support not only helped me financially but also showed me that there are organizations truly committed to empowering individuals and uplifting the community. Their kindness and dedication left me feeling valued and supported during a challenging time. I’m deeply grateful for their role in my journey and hope they continue to touch the lives of others as they did mine.
