B. The Christian Family Service Centre

1. Introduction:

The Christian Family Service Centre was established in 1954 by Miss Muriel Boone, a United Presbyte-
rian missionary, to help Mandarin-speaking refugees. Material aid, financial support and guidance in finding
jobs were provided to needy families at that time.

Over the years, in view of the concomitant rise of new needs in the community, the Agency^ work gradu-
ally extended and it has now developed into a multi-service agency providing various services for people from
all walks of life. The wide range of services includes family and child care service, children and youth service,
rehabilitation service, elderly service, community development service, clinical psychological service, clinic
and health service, and employee service programme.

Mission
Founded to manifest the love of God through serving people in need, Christian Family Service Centre
strives to support and enhance family functioning and to foster an environment in which growth and change can
take place. It believes in social justice and respect for human dignity, and endeavors to contribute to the building

of a humane and caring society in Hong Kong.
