One hundred years ago a group of caring
community members came together to
help those who were most in need.
This particular group called themselves
the Social Services League, and for
the next 100 years, they would become
the pioneers of social work in the
Montgomery County area. Taking on
families and individuals who lived
in poverty and helping them get through
their crisis, the members of the league
established their tradition of "Neighbors
Helping Neighbors."
In 1959,
the organization's name was changed
to Family Services Agency; that
same year it received an award for
creating the first assistance program
to the unemployed. To meet the needs
of the ever-changing Montgomery
County population, Family Services
has expanded and now houses 14 different
programs! Today, Family Services
is still committed to making a long-lasting
impact on families.Through its innovative
early childhood, educational, and
behavioral health programs, Family
Services makes a difference in the
community.
