Mission & Vision

The Person County Department of Social Services exists to alleviate emotional and economic distress among the people of the County. Through the delivery of preventive and restorative programs, the agency’s staff seeks to assist and to protect the vulnerable: children, adults, the blind, the disabled, and the sick.

Our vision is to create a family-centered agency which provides resources whether they be material, emotional, or guidance to enable and empower families to hope, to set goals, and to attain self-sufficient, nurturing, and satisfying lives for all members regardless of their age.
