Personal Assistance

Vision Assistance

We believe that everyone has the right to see clearly and live fully. Our caring approach ensures that no one is left behind due to cost barriers.

Everyone has the Right to See Clearly.

Family Service has limited funding for vision/optical appointments. Our vision assistance program proudly collaborates with local businesses to ensure accessible and personalized care for our community. We coordinate appointments with trusted professionals and cover the costs of glasses, frames, and contact lenses as needed, bringing the gift of clear sight to those who need it most.

True Story

Izzy, Issac and Parents

"

TWINS! It sure surprised me when the doctor said twins. It has been hard to get by, especially since daycare is so expensive. But Family Service helps us manage especially with the amazing new little grocery store. The kids love to come with me and pick our food out and it saves us so we can keep up with the rent—most months. When it is birthday time, both kids got a book and a cake! The folks at Family Service rock!
