Worked with Center for Family Servcies and programs for many years. They have a dedicated staff with a "Whatever it Takes" service attitude when suppoting clients/consumers in their programs. Actively involved with community partnerships and service fields. Always willing to enagage with others for the good of all. They really care about people, their well-being and future success.

The Center for Family Service changes the lives of all who become involved and seek the help from their local communities. Along with the assistance of community leaders, partners, local government, volunteers, employees and others, CFS is change agent offers the needed change in Camden City and all expanded areas. The reason that I know this is because I have worked for them for the last 20 years. CFS changes the lives of those in the communities as well as all who come into contact with them...This is Family!

Center for Family Services is a wonderful organization that prides itself on caring for others. It ensures that everything is centered around the client and their needs. They also make sure that their employees are taken care of, because how can we take care of others if we do not first take care of ourselves. Center for Family Services creates a loving and safe environment for all.

I've had the privilege of working for and with CFS over the past 10 years as an Americorps VISTA and currently as a consultant. My experience with CFS continues to be overwhelmingly positive, and I am inspired to share my thoughts on the incredible work they do. What sets CFS apart is the dedicated team of staff and volunteers, committed to the mission and vision of the organization; their genuine empathy and passion for making a difference shine through in every interaction. I wholeheartedly recommend CFS to anyone in need of assistance or looking to support a fantastic cause. Their dedication to uplifting individuals and families is truly commendable, and I am grateful to be affiliated with them.

This organization is great from the top down. The CEO is caring and adds a personal touch in managing those who work, donate, and volunteer here. The programs are top-notch and help so many people in so many ways. The staff really cares for those they serve; their fund-raising events offer various ways for donors to give both time and talent to support a variety of causes. The work done by CFFS truly makes a difference in the lives of the people who benefit from its programs. Donors can be sure that their contributions are helping a great nonprofit serve their community

I have been a part of this hard working non-profit for over 20 years. The organization continues to go above and beyond to provide assistance to those in need. It keeps expanding to meet the current needs that arise.

Center For Family Services has been my professional home for many years. We are rapidly growing, and ever changing with community needs, but one thing that has stayed constant is the genuine caring and support one finds for those we are honored to serve, as well as for each other as colleagues. With a strong unwavering focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, learning, and belonging, the Agency is a place where hearts heal and grow stronger together.

Staff at Center For Family Services care so much about the individuals they're serving and go above and beyond to help families access resources they need. Whether it's learning more about available services to help a family member, or making an online donation, I can always find the answers I need on the website and know that staff will reply to my messages.

This organization is so important to the community. The work they do and the appreciation the organization has for its donor to make the work possible is unmatched.

It is one of a kind and truly makes an impact felt by all.

Center for Family Services is an amazing organization! I've had the pleasure of working with them for about ten years and they are sincerely the most organized and dedicated team of individuals, who are passionate about what they do to support others, and they do it well. Their extraordinary growth of programs over the years MUST prove how successful they are at Working Together to Change Lives. We are ALL fortunate to have their outstanding services improving lives in OUR communities. I highly recommend their programs and will continue to support them in appreciation for all that they do.

I've been working with Center for Family Services for many years now. Their growth and expanded services over the last few years has been very impressive.

I am proud to be part of the Center For Family Services team of staff and part of the great community who supports this important work.

Your gift supports things like holiday gifts, or back to school essentials, or a special outing that broadens horizons and builds confidence. These things combined with counseling and other support services drive positive change for a child or a family receiving support through services at Center For Family Services.

I can not say enough about this nonprofit. I have been working with them every Christmas through my own friends and family for Christmas presents for foster children. The organization is always very organized and responsive in helping me navigate what to buy for the children as well as when drop off times are. Very very nice crew I have had the pleasure of working with. 5 Stars.

As a corporate partner, they work with us one-on-one to ensure ours and our employee donations stretch the mile, helping as many students as they can. Enjoy working with their motivated and kind team.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with CFFS (formerly FIS) for well over 25 years! Our company's volunteer program has allowed us to support CFFS by purchasing backpacks and running school supplies event, purchasing turkeys and donating through our annual gift tags event for the holidays. Supporting CFFS, who in turn assist and strengthen children and families in our local NJ communities, has truly been a very rewarding and heartfelt experience. Over the years working along side Lori Henry and Terry Viera (saddened by her passing) has truly been an honor and a privilege for us. We are truly grateful to CFFS for the good work it does in providing for so many children and families throughout NJ.

I started working with Center For Family Services over 10 years ago, first as a volunteer, then as a consultant and now as a staff member. Throughout my time working with Center For Family Services I have been so impressed with the incredible commitment of our staff to their clients and the quality of the programs and services that we offer across the state of New Jersey. Each year there are additional programs and services added to the continuum care to address the growing and changing needs of the community and its residents. From babies and their families looking for enrichment to victims of trauma to young adults in need of a place to call home to families dealing with addiction, Center For Family Services and its staff have programs, staff, and resources dedicated to making sure that we can improve the lives of our community. Please join me in supporting Center For Family Services and all of its life saving work in New Jersey and beyond.

I worked at Center For Family Services for nearly 10 years and will forever be a supporter of this organization! I am
eternally grateful for the experience gained and for the the many mentors who inspired and nurtured. I highly recommend Center For Family Services for those seeking employment, volunteerism or support in times of need.

Center for family services is a wonderful organization that I’ve donated to for the past 10 years. They truly care about the community they serve. It feels good to give back through an organization like Center for family services.

I started working at CFS as a volunteer and it was not only the work, but the people who serve here, that kept me as I transitioned into a full time position. The level of organization, care, and research that goes into each and every program is so thorough and compassionate. The employees truly care for their clients and go above and beyond just required program services. It’s a joy to be part of the team. Every year employees are trained and updated to give the best care to clients and it’s truly refreshing and sincerely educational. Love it here!!!!

Center For Family Services continues to provide innovative and compassionate services to individuals, families, and communities throughout New Jersey. In the 9 years I have been involved with the organization, I've seen so many incredible accomplishments and have felt inspired by success stories from people who have had their lives transformed by the dedication of Center For Family Services staff.

Center for family services provided me with so much life experience. Starting as a volunteer and working my way up to a program manager allowed me the opportunity to learn about the community I was serving as well as myself. Center for Family services is an amazing wrap around services organization and I will be forever thankful for the experiences I gained from them.

Center For Family Services is an amazing organization that truly does make a difference in the lives of the community members we serve. I've been working here for over one year and I look forward to each day at work. Collaborating with on-site staff and different agency departments, I'm able to see firsthand the genuine compassion and care that the staff have when it comes to serving community members. I am proud to be a part of Center For Family Services.

I have served on the Board and worked with executive staff for many years. The dedication, professionalism and genuine caring that they bring in support of their clients is truly inspiring. They balance exceptional service with fiscal responsibility. A privilege to work with them and see up close the incredible job they do everyday.

Proud to be associated with CFS. We've been working with Family Intervention for over 25 years and now that they are under the CFS umbrella we are happy to continue our support for all great work they do for our families and communities throughout New Jersey.

Center for Family Services is helpful to individuals experiencing challenges of life at all levels: individual, family and community. I appreciate their use of funds to support the addiction and recovery community to facilitate individuals on a path toward healing.

Wonderful organization. It is a pleasure to donate to and work with such dedicated staff.

I can’t say enough good things about the Center of Family Services. Their staff are professional and truly saints on earth. I have photographed many events and clients for the organization. Seeing the joy through smiles, and sometimes happy tears says it all. They make a difference in many lives.

I am the Volunteer Committee Lead at my company. We try to offer at least 4-5 volunteer opportunities to our employees every year.

I work with several different organizations to plan these events, but Center for Family Services is *by far* the best group to work with!

They coordinate almost everything, so there’s very little left for me to do; other than get the group to show up and help!

They are all super positive and fun!

And, of course, their mission is extraordinarily valuable!

CFS has been a wonderful partner with my school. We have connected on a large number of events, practices, neighborhood activities, etc. that benefit the scholars under my tutelage. As the Principal of U.S. Wiggins CPL Family School, I have seen first hand how important the services they provide impact families in my surrounding neighborhood. Through our relationship with the Camden Promise Neighborhood, we have had assistance meeting the food needs of families, mentoring children, providing family resources and training to parents, assisting with improving attendance, providing social work and mental health supports, making donations for school supplies, and more. There support for early learning interventions has also been instrumental in starting our youngest learnings off to a great start.

I volunteered 2 years with CFS and I can easily say the time there was well spent. The staff I worked with were extremely dedicated to the youth we helped and are a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend volunteering with Center for Family Services.

The amount of support the organization gives, especially in Camden, is unparalleled.

I have been involved as a volunteer for 8 years and cannot say enough about the amazing people who work with Center for Family Services. They do so much for the community and their dedication is unwavering. I proudly wear my volunteer tee shirts everywhere to raise awareness. I feel privileged to be a part of their volunteer team.

I have worked with Center For Family Services for a number of years and worked in several different positions. This has given me the opportunity to understand the agency and its work from different perspectives. The organization is genuinely committed to service and improving communities in New Jersey.

Center For Family Services has a 100-year history of changing lives. I have been proud to be part of this outstanding organization for nearly 20 years, and I witnessed many times the way a life can be changed when a person has access to the support they need. When you give a gift to Center For Family Services, your donation will provide direct support to help a child or a family. Your gift supports things like holiday gifts, or back to school essentials, or a special outing that broadens horizons and builds confidence. These things combined with counseling and other support services drive positive change for a child or a family receiving support through services at Center For Family Services.

I have worked for Center for Family Services for over 20 years and have been fortunate to witness first hand the amazing work this organization accomplishes to lend a hand to those who may be struggling with difficulties in their lives. Over the years the services have expanded in both modality and geographically which has enabled people from all walks of life and locations to have access to services they may need. The staff is dedicated, and always courteous. Recently CFS has implemented the steps to become a trauma informed agency and this will only continue to enhance the services offered.

I have been apart of working with CFS for over 18 years. I have been able to watch the programs and team members assist in helping so many with problems and needs in their lives. It is a wonderful organization that goes above and beyond to help others and the community.

Center For Family Services has a long history of providing services and resources through a continuum of programs in collaboration with the communities it serves. CFS is innovative in its approach to complex issues and works with its local and statewide partners to improve and strengthen the lives of children and families throughout New Jersey. The CFS staff has a family mentality - working side by side to share our best practices with other practitioners and partners. CFS has been a committed partner, provider, convener and supporter of residents in neighborhoods stretching from south to north, with its roots in Camden, New Jersey. CFS is an agency that casts the ideal balance between leader and learner. With a century of service in the books, I am looking forward to another century of change.

Center for Family Services is the top notch non-profit in New Jersey to get involved with. They offer a variety of localized services to a wide span of folks in need. I started with CFS as a volunteer in Quixote Quest, a teen volunteer organization that has built long term relationships with CFS and partner non-profits to provide teens who are interested in serving the community the opportunity of a lifetime. Teens are usually not trusted, but due to the requirements for joining QQ, these teens are able to truly serve, and they are supported by amazing QQ leaders who support the volunteers reflections and innovative ideas to better serve the community.

CFS is a humble organization that works with the community to support children, women, survivors of domestic violence, the community of Camden, and more. I have been lucky to be involved with SERV, Operation Backpack, the Holiday Gift Drive, and other programs. I am always impressed and know others will be too!

I've been with the Center for Family Service program, Quixote Quest, for two years now and I can state with great confidence that choosing to volunteer here was the best decision I ever made.

My fellow teenage volunteers and I go into Camden every Saturday to tutor and mentor children from the area. The kids are so inspiring and I love them like my own siblings. Every volunteer is matched with a child to create a special bond to ensure the child feels comfortable and loved during their time with us. We provide lunch every Saturday and give them books to keep.
We take group trips to parks, the movies, to trampoline parks, and many other places. Watching my mentee grasp the concept of long division and seeing her face light up with a smile as she looks up at me is the best thing anyone could ask for. It is truly an honor to create a safe, happy environment for these children and to know that you are making a difference in their lives.

Quixote Quest is a wonderful program that changes lives everyday and it was made possible by the great people at Center for Family Services.

I have volunteered with Center For Family Services in many different capacities. Mainly I've served at the organization as an AmeriCorps VISTA member for two years. During my first year of volunteer service, I was taken back by how friendly and dedicated the staff were that I decided to sign on for another.

During this long term service opportunity I also took advantage of Center For Family Services Born to Read program. This was a weekly volunteer opportunity where I would go into one of our Head Start classrooms and read one on one with a child. This experience was always a high point of my week. The kids are adorable and excited to have a new face in the classroom, especially someone who wants to give them each one on one time. Literacy is important to me and I love that the Born to Read Program encourages reading starting at such a young age. The program also encourages parents to read at home with their little ones and gives them some educational material explaining the importance of literacy.

Through Center For Family Services I also volunteered two years in a row at their annual holiday gift drive. This is always a fun way to give back during the holidays!

If you are looking for ways to give back, Center For Family Services has many different opportunities for one time or long term volunteers and a variety of different ways to get involved. Volunteering here is a decision you won't regret!

The Center for Family Services is an outstanding organization. As a health care professional and educator I have been very impressed with their programs. Their emphasis on prevention and education resonates with me. I started to volunteering for the Reading Blitz at the CFS when I relocated to southern NJ about a year and a half ago. I am very impressed with the program and what it means to the students. If you enjoy kids, this is a great experience! I met Eileen Henderson, the Vice President of Child and Family Services at my first Reading Blitz session and she told me about the various programs. I joined the Board of the Family Connect program as a community member and volunteer. I have seen firsthand the commitment of the board and the CFS staff to the children and families in this program. I am proud to be a part of it.

I have been a board member for 22 years (includes pre-merger service) and have witnessed tremendous growth in both budget and stature in South Jersey, especiallly among funding sources. We have established a reputation among funding sources as a reliable alternative when other agencies falter. This began several years ago when another agency, now defunct, had lost its grasnt to provide counselling services for rape victims. We were asked by a state funding agency to step up and deliver the service. We did and have been doing a terrific job through our SERV program ever scince. It has been followed by a number of "mayday" calls we have received from state agencies since then. Like many agencies, we believe in providing help out of philosophical commitment, but we stand out because we couple that with a sound business model. Ken Shuttleworth

In my capacity as the Director of the local Volunteer Center my experience with the staff and volunteers at the CFFS has always been very positive. They are truly commited to serving their clients while integrating community volunteers into their programs whenever it is professionally responsible to do so. I could recommend CFFS to potential volunteers with confidence that they would have a rewarding experience. Since my retirement two years ago, several friends and I have worked with the Domestic Violence Center organizing and maintainining donations of goods from the community. The staff has always been welcoming and appreciative of our work.

This is a great organization, I have been working wiyh them for about 6 years and they are top notch. Keep up all the great work you guys do for the community.

As a Board member of the Center for Family Services, I am continually impressed by the number and quality of service programs provided to people in need by the agency. CFS, a leading social service agency in South Jersey, is on the cutting edge of responding to need. The latest venture into development of low-income housing (which has been a crying need for years) is an example.

I have been working with SERV for the past five years along with our Women's Club in trying to provide some holiday cheer to those families suffering from domestic violence. The Residential Coordinator, Mary Love, has been professional, courteous, grateful and extremely informative, yet very confidentiality conscious regarding the mission of SERV. It is truly heartwarming to understand the comfort, education, housing and guidance they provide to their clients. SERV certainly deserves to win a "Top-Rated Children and Families Award".

I have worked with the Center for Family Services for many years and have always been impressed with their professionalism and caring for the youth and families they serve. They have a dedicated staff who go above and beyond to help the families access treatment and will work with those who are in danger of "falling through the cracks" to provide services in difficult situations. I trust and highly recommend this agency as an outstanding care provider of therapeutic services in our community.

I have been working with Services Empowering the Rights of Victims (SERV, part of CFFS) for over 6 years. Center for People in Transition services displaced homemakers and many of them are victims of domestic violence. The Center has a MOU with SERV and the interaction between the two agencies is so effective in helping both of our clients. Our clients speak very highly of SERV's services, staff and facilities. I have also worked very closely with the Sexual Violence Coalition and once again I have been most impressed with the motivation, commitment and efficiency of the individuals working within this part of CFFS. They are highly driven to stop and PREVENT this type of violence.

Center for Family Services has created a very bright future for me. Having been through three of their safe housing/ residential programs I can't imagine myself being any where else. Their staff love and care for the clients as is they were their own kids. The dedication to help someone to succeed in life is definitely one of the great qualiies of the organization. Without CFS I dont know where I would be in life.

My employer and I have been involved with the Center for Family Serives for a few years. I have primarily dealt with the Center as a volunteer for the Reading Blitz with Camden Cooper Lanning Promise Neighborhood initiative and with Operation Back Pack. Both events have always been so well organized and very professional. It has been a pleasure to work with the CFS staff during the reading blitzes and Operation Backpack and I look forward to a continued partnership with the Center.

I worked with CFS because my son was required to complete communiy service hours for school. But when working with the group I was impressed at the level of professionalism and the number of activities the organzation provides for people in need. I've decided to continue my service with CFS as a long term volunteer. I want to say thank you thank you for being their for te community it is wonderful to see organizations that really care. Thank You Kimberly D.

McKernan Architects has had a professional relationship with Center for Family Services for several years. We have never come across an organization with so much dedication, committment and compassion for those to whom they serve. Everyone in this organization is top notch. Center for Family Services continues to shine and inspire. We wish them all the best and will continue to support their cause.

Center For Family Services provides opportunities for volunteers to make a real difference in the lives of others. They encourage and support the volunteer to maximize the experience. It is always a pleasure to return.

I started volunteering for the Reading Blitz Program after I attended a mentoring training session with the Center for Family Services. The program is very important for the children but the reward I received as a volunteer is priceless. I look forward to participating again the the fall.

I have had the pleasure of working with the Center for Family Services since 2005. Our generous employees participate in a variety of fundraising activities and make donations to support the various programs within CFS. Some of the programs we’ve supported include the Denim Days, Operation Backpack, Holiday Gift Project, Easter Baskets and Coat Drive. We are also proud to have partnered with CFS through the creation of our Wyanoke Group Children’s Support Fund which provides much needed assistance to those who have suffered great hardship by providing essential items and enriching activities to children and families in need.

I have been involved with the Center for Family Services for approximately one year, primarily as a Reading Blitz volunteer for their Camden Cooper Lanning Promise Neighborhood initiative. It has been more than a pleasure attending these events, not only from the satisfaction of helping Camden students improve their reading skills but also because of the clear enthusiasm and dedication of the CFS staff. I look forward to working with the Center for many years to come.

The Center for Family Services helps numerous individuals and families to achieve a better life through their various programs throughout New Jersey. They help to empower a person for a better future. I am proud to be able to say that I am associated with them and wish them continued success in their endeavors to assist those people in NJ who need it the most. God Bless and Godspeed CFS!!!
