Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service

Since 1951, Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service (PFH) has made a powerful difference in the Near North side and the East Bluff neighborhoods of Peoria, and beyond. We have a heritage filled with stories of how we brought hope into people's lives. PFH was founded as a response to the great need for assistance to individuals and families living in deep poverty. Our Advocacy, Coaching, Education and Support approach provides wrap-around services supported by short and long-term coaching for both the Latino and English speaking communities. We provide valuable services, such as food, clothing, youth education, adult education, employment preparation, and finance and employment coaching, while encouraging lasting change for those we serve. We are dedicated to providing hope and guidance that offers a "hand-up" rather than handouts.
