For over 100 years, Family Services, Inc. has
depended upon a generous community to help support us … and
those we serve. It has allowed us to be there for a child in need,
a victim in crisis, or a family in conflict.
There
are perhaps hundreds of ways of providing support. Some are very
personal, by an individual or a couple. Others are by larger groups,
pooling their resources to make a difference.
While the ways to give are varied, they fall into
three basic areas:
> Financial gifts
> Tangible gifts
> Gifts of time (volunteering)
Who
can give?
Family Services receives gifts from a variety of sources –
all of them play an important role in helping us make a difference
in the lives of families:
 |
Individuals, couples or entire
families - the most personal ways to make a difference |
|
Faith Groups - the gift may be offered by the
entire church or from its specific sub-groups (e.g. mission
groups, church circles, etc.) |
|
Educational groups from students at all levels
– pre-school through college |
|
Community groups from groups as varied as civic
groups (Kiwanis, Rotary, Sertoma, etc); social groups (sororities,
fraternities, etc.); or other community, professional, or
special interest groups (garden clubs, women’s groups,
medical auxiliaries, etc.) |
|
Businesses from both small and large companies
or from departments within larger corporations who pool their
support (financial or volunteer time) to support our programs |
Whether you wish to help us with our annual operating
support or for future, deferred, needs, your gifts will help us
make a difference to the families and children we serve.
