Your Involvement
Metropolitan Family Service engages the energy, resources, and time of many community partners and volunteers to provide health services in the Greater Portland region.

Our community partners include nonprofit providers, businesses, schools, health care organizations, and funders. With these collaborations, MFS provides health services to more than 2,200 individuals each year.

Metropolitan Family Service volunteers include business leaders, parents, students, neighbors, families, and our own MFS health participants.

The success of our health services and the individuals who participate in these services are directly related to the support we receive from our partners, volunteers, and the community.
