We are excited to announce that we will be hosting our annual Gala Luncheon 2022, October 8th to celebrate the strength and resilience of Family Support Services!
Family Support Services, founded over 30 years ago, is a nonprofit agency that specializes in working with low-income families in Alameda and San Francisco counties. These families face serious challenges in caring for their children, including families in which grandparents or other relatives have stepped in to care for children; families with children who have intellectual and physical disabilities; and families whose children are at risk of abuse and neglect. All of our programs and services are provided at no cost to our clients.
The Gala is our annual event where our audience of about 150 donors and community supporters will hear about the impacts of our work and helps us to raise funds for our programs and services.
This event increases awareness of our Agency and the work we do to support families. It allows us to voice the stress and struggles of our clients who rely on us to make their challenging circumstances more bearable.
Our programs provide parenting education, intermediate childcare for children with special needs, case management and support groups for kinship caregivers, and deliver essential mental health therapy to children and teens. Our programs are designed to strengthen families, helping parents and caregivers to improve their parenting skills and raise children in secure and nurturing environments.
During the COVID crisis, we continued to provide program services by keeping our doors open throughout the pandemic, addressing food shortages, and promoting the CDC safety protocols. Without our donors, government funders and community partners, this essential work would not be possible.
We hope that you will be a meaningful part of this incredible event by joining us in our mission ‘to nurture children, youth, and their caregivers to keep families healthy and intact’.
If you would like to be a sponsor, purchase tickets, or have questions, please contact: Cheryl Smith at csmith@fssba.org before September 15th.
