Hope for Families and Community Services, Inc.
Hope for Families and Community Services is a nonprofit organization that assists families with behavioral and substance abuse issues. Since its founding in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1996, HFCS has worked to become a solid program that can be dependable for the citizens of not only the City of Tuskegee but the Blackbelt Counties of Alabama.
HFCS begins its reorganization plan in 2021, looking for qualified devoted individuals who can be committed to assisting families in time of need. Helping children and families with behavioral issues can be time-consuming and challenging. However, since its inception, the staff and volunteers have helped children throughout the Blackbelt understand their importance to society and their families. And assisted parents in learning to better help their children in overcoming their behavioral challenges.
HFCS is very family-focused and uses a holistic approach, which provides a top-notch service that meets families’ needs.
