PFS is a nonprofit agency providing monetary assistance with utilities, rent and life-sustaining medications and has an on-site food pantry.

PFS receives donations from churches, church groups, individuals, organizations and grants to operate its mission to the community.

It has served the Youngs- town community for 71 years and is in the Mill Creek Community Center at 496 Glenwood Ave.

The Youngstown Foundation awarded Protestant Family Service a $10,000 grant for capital improvement for the agency.
