Family Service Association has been in the forefront of designing programs that work to meet the needs of families since 1896.
We believe providing services in the most efficient and economical manner is as much a part of our way of doing business as is the professionalism and dignity we bring to the people we serve.
Family Service Association’s history of partnerships and cooperative relationships with virtually every other human service organization in the area adds value to what we provide.
As a nonprofit agency, we welcome donations of time, money, and in-kind services and materials. These life-giving commodities make the difference in how we provide service to the Miami Valley.
Organizational History
 The 'Council of Fifteen, ' was the first governing body or board of trustees of the new agency, Funds to operate the organization come from the public through donations or through the sale of 'memberships.'
Although the first efforts of what is now the Family Service Association were to provide food, shelter, and clothing, the constitution written in 1896 makes special mention of dedicating the agency to helping people help themselves, a philosophy that is still followed today.
As we celebrate our 110 years of strengthening families, we pay special tribute to the millions of people with whom we have been associated since 1896, founders and board members, volunteers and professionals of the agency and from the other community service organizations in the Miami Valley, and funders and supporters representing both private and public resources. Most of all, this anniversary honors the families who come to us when they are most vulnerable and who exhibit fascinating courage and caring for one another in stressful times of chaos and chance.
