Recruitment and hiring shifts online at Oakland Family Services, ensuring continuity of business

Despite the challenges created by the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order in Michigan, Oakland Family Services is moving forward with hiring staff to ensure continuity of our vital health and safety net services for our community during the coronavirus pandemic.
