Thank you to McNeilus Refuse/Garbage Trucks for these wonderful Blizzard Bags!

Blizzard Bags include shelf stable items so Meals on Wheels clients have an option if bad weather doesn't allow for a meal delivery.

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing granted us funds *and* their volunteer crew packed the bags to ensure neighbors in our community have food on hand, which is so important during a Minnesota winter. Thank you!

If you're inspired by this team effort, you and your family, friends, or group can volunteer with us here at Family Service Rochester - learn more at https://familyservicerochester.org/Volunteering

This is your year to volunteer!

You can be a Snow Angel for a neighbor right here in our community. Snow Angels clear driveways, sidewalks, and wheelchair ramps for seniors and adults with disabilities.

This is a flexible and rewarding opportunity - you can sign up to help each snowfall or be a "sub" to help out when you can.

Our Story

For the past 50 years, Family Service Rochester has sharpened its focus to working with families with serious child welfare and/or family violence concerns. Major service expansions have been in the areas of child maltreatment, child welfare, children’s mental health, domestic violence and providing our services to ethnically diverse populations in our community. Today the agency provides more than 30 programs to meet ever-changing community needs. Our staff of over 85 provides a wide range of human services that educate, strengthen, support, protect and empower individuals and families in our community.
