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

Aaron and his daughter

"

When my daughter was born, she had a life-threatening condition that required us to go to Denver for treatment. With the time away, I lost my job and my rental. When we came back, Family Service helped us get back on our feet by providing amazing food boxes, baby clothes and even helped me get my GED so I could get hired again. Thank you, Family Service!
