Services
The organization now is known as Family Support Services of Amarillo was founded in 1908 by a group of Amarillo businessmen who were inspired to start the organization (then called Associated Charities) by the suffering men, women, and children they saw who did not have any other resources for assistance or healing.
1908- a group of businessmen met in the old Amarillo City Hall to form the city's first charity, which was called the Associated Charities. It was later called the United Charities and later, the Social Welfare Association. 1949- Travelers Aid Society and Social Welfare merged to form the Family Service of Amarillo.
