Participants in the FSS program receive a comprehensive range of services designed to support their journey towards self-sufficiency.
These services are organized by a team called the Program Coordinating Committee (PCC). This team works hard to gather support and resources from both public and private groups to make sure the FSS program runs smoothly.
