About Community Services for Every 1

Community Services was founded in 1989 by Mark Foley and began offering services in Western New York. At that time, there were 50 employees, many of whom were part-time, working out of a rented storefront on Hertel Avenue.

Nearly 30 years later, Community Services now has a staff of 900 and offers more than 40 programs. The Agency’s administrative offices are strategically located throughout Erie County with offices in Buffalo, Lackawanna, Kenmore and North Tonawanda. In addition, Community Services provides residential housing in neighborhoods throughout Western New York.

While the agency has grown significantly over the years, the commitment to providing person-centered, customized services remains the same. Community Services is widely recognized for our ability to support those who need it, despite challenges or previous circumstances.
