We assist individuals and families in reaching these goals through economic support programs, which ensure that food, shelter, medical care and other basic needs are met. Social work services promote self-determination, enhance family functioning and protect children and disabled adults from abuse, neglect and exploitation.
We advocate for services that improve the quality of life for individuals and families, affirm each individual's worth, and encourage personal responsibility in decision-making. We believe that in helping others, we create a stronger community for everyone.
