Family Service is an independent, non-profit counseling center that provides state-of-the-art psychotherapy, education, and advocacy services to anyone needing help across life's continuum - every age, every stage. Founded in 1964, the agency was the first non-profit counseling clinic in Waukesha County.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the Children's Advocacy Resource and Empowerment Center (C.A.R.E.) is still in operation with staff conducting forensic interviews of children who are the suspected victims of neglect, abuse or those who witnessed a violent crime. Family Service is in need of the following at this time:
- Adult and children’s cloth face masks. During times interfacing with children and families face to face, face masks are required to be worn, but not everyone has a face mask. Clients will be allowed to keep the face mask for personal use after their visit.
- Hand sanitizer. While deemed an essential business and a healthcare agency, Family Service is having difficulty getting hand sanitizer from anywhere and welcomes donations of any size bottle - small bottles for offices and larger bottles for common spaces such as check-in. Homemade sanitizer cannot be accepted.
- Sanitizing products. Sanitizing wipes and sprays.
These critical supplies have been very difficult for Family Service to source. Items can be dropped off at the Family Service office located at:
101. W. Broadway, Waukesha
Chase Bank Building - 2nd Floor
A basket with a sign on the second floor landing is available for donations. We do not allow anyone to come into our office for the safety of our employees.
Financial donations are also welcomed and being applied to specific crisis needs right now.
Thank you.
