"When going to school I was always under the impression that I would need to get a job at a big bank or a fortune 500 company to be successful… I never imagined I would be able to work in such a rewarding environment, where I’d be able to use my skillset to help the community I lived in…For the new perspective on success I am very grateful."
Cameron SmithDirector of Finance

Chris WiktorWeatherization Program Director
"For my entire life I’ve had the good fortune to be involved in public service – helping others – in some way, shape or form. Helping others, making a difference in their life, is not only rewarding but it spreads to others. Here at Supportive Services we believe that to be our best is to find ourselves in the service of others."
