Each year, Metropolitan Family Service,
in collaboration with the Alliance for
Children and Families
celebrates National Family Week.
Throughout the months of October and
November, MFS coordinates various activities
in local schools to bring children
and families together, and connect them
with resources that enable them to
succeed.
Thanksgiving Baskets
–
Metropolitan Family Service will partner with
the National Charity League of Lake Oswego to distribute
Thanksgiving food baskets to local low-income families.
Family Portraits Celebration. –
MFS hosted the 7th annual Portraits in the Park at Rowe Middle School. Each family will receive one
8x10 and two 5x7 prints of the best image, plus a CD-Rom with the
image so they can make additional copies. The portraits will be
delivered to low-income families during National Family Week,
November 18th-24th.
