WHAT WE OFFER

Our Services

PFS is your trusted source for community resources, tools, support, and services.

We support children and families by teaching and keeping children safe through our Early Learning Program. This allows parents to work, interview, or build job skills.

Financial Empowerment

We work to permanently break cycles of debt and vulnerability through financial workshops, asset and credit-building tools, and alternatives to predatory lenders.

Employment Services

We offer employment services for adults age 50+ with two unique programs; Senior Community Service Employment and Mature Worker.

Older Adult Services

We promote health, mobility, independence, and we reduce rates of illness and injury, as well as ensure aging members of our community live better, together.
