Leadership Cabinet

For 75 years (2025), Peninsula Family Service (PFS) has stood as a beacon of hope and a dedicated community partner for our vulnerable neighbors facing challenges. With expert-driven tools and support, PFS empowers our community members to reach their full potential and lead healthy, stable lives. ​

The purpose of the PFS 75th Anniversary Leadership Cabinet is to elevate the visibility and impact of PFS year-long 75th Anniversary celebration, as we thank and engage our extended PFS community. The Cabinet will serve this purpose for the ultimate goal of bringing awareness and knowledge of the challenges many people in our community face, and the programs, such as those of PFS, that are available to support them to thrive. Our vision is to reach even more program participants with even better services to support them in creating better lives.
