“New” is the word heard most around TFS these days…..in fact, you are viewing our new website! Look for many more changes here in the near future as we now have a fully integrated content manager for easier updating.
The biggest “new” for 2009 is our purchase of a new, permanent home……a great milestone for our 72 year old agency! By the end of April, we will operate both our mental health and DOSE programs from 3937 Western Blvd. In addition, we will also have new space for our financial stability and supervised visitation programs at 700 Blue Ridge Road. The list of new things includes a state-of-the-art phone system, new IT infrastructure, and new initiatives to serve our clients……exciting times indeed!
But there is one new thing at TFS that is not encouraging – the abundance of new clients struggling to make ends meet. I often say that our ultimate goal as a human service agency is to go out of business; unfortunately, business is very good these days. Even more troubling is the dwindling support in the face of the largest economic meltdown since the 1930s…..we must find more support to help families during this crisis.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and for your support of our work!
