Barrhead and District Family and Community Support Services Society

 
FCSS is a partnership between the Province of Alberta, the Town and County of Barrhead, and the people of the community. They are community based and volunteer supported. Their role is to develop locally driven preventative social services to enhance the well being of individuals, families, and communities.  FCSS is involved in direct service programs as well as community planning. If you see a need in the community or if you have an idea for a program they will be happy to discuss it with you.

Funding for FCSS is provided by Child and Family Services Authority (CFSA), the Town and County of Barrhead, and residents of the greater Barrhead community with donations (both cash and in-kind).
