Salisbury Family Services

by Katherine

Do you know of someone, maybe a friend or neighbor, who is in need? You might suggest that they consider contacting Salisbury Family Services (SFS). The goal of Salisbury Family Services is to help people help themselves. SFS has a part time social worker, Patrice McGrath, who helps people find solutions for their problems.

Salisbury Family Services helps families and individuals that live in our community. It helps people with money problems, medical problems, food problems, and housing problems. It provides counseling as well as transportation, housing, fuel, and food assistance. SFS also refers people to other agencies or organizations that can help them.

To work at SFS you need experience working with State, Local and Federal agencies that can help people. You have to be willing to help all kinds of people and to try to help them solve all kinds of problems. You also have to be a good listener. Mrs. McGrath will see people in her office but if they cannot get to her office, she will go to their homes.

The people living in our community support SFS by giving money, providing gifts and donating their time as volunteers. That is one of the reasons Salisbury is such a nice place to live.

Salisbury Family Services is located on Salmon Kill Road near the Housatonic Day Care. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. You can call Patrice McGrath at 435-5187 or stop by her office. All visits will remain private. Her office is a warm place and Ms. McGrath is a friendly social worker.
