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

Christopher and Family

"

Christopher’s Mom: “We moved to Montana a couple of years ago because of the oil boom. No work in the Bakken or Wyoming now, so we are waiting for things to swing up again. Until then, my husband and I have only about 20-25 hours of work each. Family Service makes it possible to afford our rent by providing food for our family.
