Welcome
Welcome to the Friendship House online office – we are committed to reaching out to children, families, and seniors in our community. Our mission is to help people find alternatives to life-long poverty, to counteract the breakdown in family life and to establish partnerships with individuals in the solutions to their situations. Through innovative programs, Friendship House provides goods and services to those in crisis, uses social institutions to better meet community needs, and provides advocacy, family support, and education services to the poor to enable them to exercise their rights and participate effectively in community life.
