For 44 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.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Community Christian Service Agency, an ecumenical Christian agency, is to provide emergency services to individuals and families in need in San Diego County, including food, clothing, and referrals, and where practicable, counseling to assist in their transition to self-reliance.

First Annual Cozy in Clairemont Coat and Blanket Drive
A big thank you to the Legacy Real Estate Co. and volunteers from St. David's Episcopal Church and community neighbors who spent the morning of November 18th collecting coats and blankets to benefit Community Christian Service Agency (CCSA) in the Cozy In Clairemont Coat & Blanket Drive. They drove up and down the Mount Streets in Clairemont collecting bags of warm coats and blankets set out by neighbors. They also had a drop-off location at Holmes Elementary. School. They were thrilled to see the participation of the community and enjoyed meeting several of the neighbors who stopped by to say hi. The giving continued well after the event as neighbors continued to deliver items directly to CCSA. It is estimated that enough coats and blankets were collected to keep over 150 San Diegans a little cozier this winter.
