FAMCO's Vision - A coalition of religious and secular organizations working together to imporve the quality of life in the Aiken area by assisting families in the areas of marriage preparation, enhancement, restoration, and recovery.
Many people in the Aiken area come from and perhaps live in homes that are hurting. Many local organizations, churches, and community leaders are working to alleviate the hurting conditions.
FAMCO is working with the community to get at the root cause of these hurting families. FAMCO helps marriages succeed, thus eliminating the source of the hurts.
FAMCO knows that preventing the hurt is much better than trying to fix the hurt.

The Aiken area wants families to succeed. FAMCO is working toward this goal by encouraging the community to sign the Aiken Community Marriage Agreement and by providing appropriate family and marriage resources.
