It’s time to put on your bowling shoes, grab a slice of pizza, and give children the opportunity to achieve their potential.

The Believe in Youth Bowl-A-Rama, is more than just a bowling party– it’s how Youth Mentoring raises the money that we need to create life-changing match relationships between Mentors and Mentees, and provide ongoing support to children, families, and mentors.

As our community prepares for the Believe in Youth Bowl-A-Rama, we hope that you’ll join us this year!

What an incredible night! 🧡🥧

Our 25th Annual Free Thanksgiving Dinner at the Laura Richardson Houghton Corning Youth Center brought together over 150 community members for an evening filled with great food, connection, and community spirit.

Special thanks to our dedicated team and volunteers, including city officials, legislators, the Corning City Police Department, and the Corning Fire Department. Huge thanks also to our sponsor, Wegmans, for helping make this event possible. The 🚒 fire truck tour was a huge hit with the kids and added something extra special to the night!

We’re proud to be a space where youth are supported every day, and we’re grateful for opportunities like this to extend that care to the whole community. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a night to remember! 🦃❤️

At Family Service Society, we are deeply grateful for the community support that allows us to connect local families in need with generous supporters.

Your generosity can directly lighten the burden for a family from our Family Focus Program this holiday season. This initiative ensures they receive essential items and some special and meaningful moments of holiday joy.

Contact us and we will match you with a family in need.

We provide a personalized "Needs & Wants" list that outlines essentials and special wishes.

You fulfill the family's wishes by shopping for their gifts.

This act of kindness is a meaningful project for individuals, families, offices, and community groups.

Still smiling from Saturday! 💙

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our first Fall Rummage & Bake Sale a success! From the volunteers who donated, baked, set up, ran tables, and cheered us on, to everyone who came out to shop and support the Laura Richardson Houghton Corning Youth Center. We are so grateful.

Because of your kindness and teamwork, we raised funds that will directly support youth programs that make a real difference. Whether you were with us all day or just stopped by for a quick look and a cookie, you were part of something special.

We love this community and are proud to serve it. Thank you for showing up and showing your heart. 💙
