The goal of the Family & Consumer Sciences Program is to improve the quality of 
life for individuals and families. We address the challenges of critical issues affecting 
people's daily lives in a changing environment.  Programs focus on economic, social 
and physical well-being of our clients. We strengthen personal and family 
relationships, encourage healthful choices, and identify resources to extend income.
