Mission

The mission of the Pitt County Department of Social Services is to enable the achievement of self support and self sufficiency. It is our aim to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable citizens, but if necessary, we intervene to provide protection. We will strive to help those families who are dependent on public assistance benefits to find employment and obtain child support.

Commitment

Our commitment is to each individual or family we serve. We focus on each person or family individually. We will respond in a respectful, confidential, efficient and compassionate manner. We aim to offer promptly available benefits and timely services.

We Recognize

We recognize the worth and dignity of each person or family we come into contact with, and we recognize the diversity of the different cultures which make up the Pitt County Community.
