PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

The Partnership for Families, Children and Adults is a comprehensive non-profit human services agency offering over 20 programs. Our programs touch the lives of vulnerable individuals – from unborn children to seniors – through professional counseling, crisis intervention, and education and prevention services. Even with the wide reach and range of our offerings, the Partnership continually seeks to collaborate with partner agencies to provide the best possible care for our clients.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Partnership receives funds from corporations, foundations, businesses, employee groups, religious institutions, civic groups, individuals, government contracts and grants, and the United Way. Generous citizens and groups throughout the region routinely give numerous in-kind donations of consumable supplies, clothing, and house wares. Gifts in-kind and gifts of cash, securities and other marketable property will be gratefully received. In addition, there are many commemorative gift opportunities to honor the donor, the donor’s family, friends or business associates. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Persons wishing further information about our services, special events or opportunities for volunteer involvement are invited to contact us by e-mail or by calling the central office (423) 755-2822.
