About Us
For 45 years, the Community Christian Service Agency has been serving those in the San Diego community who lack the basic necessities of life.

These donations come from member churches, community groups, and businesses. More than 90% of the money donated to CCSA is spent on programs directly benefiting CCSA clients.
CCSA is an IRS-qualified nonprofit organization. All contributions are tax-deductible.

The Internal Operations Branch for the City of San Diego -- which oversees the five departments of Purchasing and Contracting, Real Estate Assets, Information Technology, Fleet Operations and Human Resources, and represents over 500 City employees -- has generously donated 750 pairs of socks for men, woman and children in need from their "Sock Drive" to CCSA!
This "Sock Drive” was a voluntary effort established and organized by the Branch's own employees to give back to our communities during the holiday season. The generous efforts of these employees generated over 2,000 pairs of socks that they shared with three different organizations including CCSA.
