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.
CCSA strives to deliver quality services to its clients at the lowest possible cost. A large volunteer workforce and substantial donations of food, clothing and supplies enable CCSA to keep CCSA to keep overhead low. 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.

As we listen to voices that too often are not heard, let us put ourselves in the place of those who cry for assistance. CCSA shares this true story for awareness of those who struggle, fight for a sleeping place, are hungry, and often cold and gripped with fear for their safety. Many simply don’t know what happened, it all developed so fast. A crisis is a crisis, no matter how it took place. How can we help and shouldn’t we always respond?
THANK YOU CHILDREN OF ST. MARKS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND PRESCHOOL!
CCSA thanks the children of St. Mark’s United Methodist Church and Preschool who, as a celebration of Holy Week, collected NEW children’s shoes, and over 300 pair of socks, that were donated to CCSA. NEW shoes and socks will be given out as part of our Back to School program.
