FCSS
The purpose of Family and Community Support Services (F.C.S.S.) is to facilitate the development of programs and services that Hanna FCSS enhance, strengthen and stabilize family life. F.C.S.S. promotes volunteerism and encourages cooperation and coordination of other agencies within the community. Programs are developed through direct input from the community and suggestions and ideas are welcome at any time.
Hanna FCSS offers a broad range of community and volunteer programs. Youth programs are offered in conjunction with the Hanna Youth Club.
200 residents from Hanna and the surrounding communities, along with 15 agencies were randomly interviewed via phone and asked about their knowledge of supports and services in the community and perceptions regarding family violence. The data was compiled in a needs assessment report. Visit the Step Forward Against Family Violence in Hanna web page for more information.
