San Antonio Community Resource Directory
Family Service (Nonprofit )

Our Mission: Empowering individuals and families to transform their lives and strengthen their community.

Founded in 1903, Family Service (officially Family Service Association of San Antonio) is the oldest human service nonprofit in San Antonio.

Four traits have always characterized Family Service: innovative programs, collaboration with others in the community, responsible fiscal management, and an abiding dedication to families. The vision of a handful of leaders in 1903 has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives to date.

Today the programs of Family Service continue to support positive family values, respect the changing role of the family, and assist children, seniors, and families to deal effectively with their problems and challenges. Family Service remains a premier resource for San Antonio families.
