What Is FCSS?
Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is a unique 80/20 funding partnership between the Government of Alberta and participating municipalities or Métis Settlements. Provincially, the FCSS Program receives its mandate from the Family and Community Support Services Act and Regulation.
M-M-I F.C.S.S. is a partnership between the Province of Alberta, the Villages of Mannville and Innisfree, Hamlet of Minburn and the County of Minburn # 27 and the people of our community.
We are community based and volunteer supported. Our role is to develop locally driven preventative social services to enhance the well being of individuals, families and communities.
FCSS is involved in direct service programs as well as community planning. If you see a need in the community or if you have an idea for a program we will be happy to discuss it with you.
