For 40 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.
