Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) is a community –based organization that has been providing community services for people on the Sunshine Coast since 1974. We are a non-government organization overseen by a volunteer board of directors, funded by government contracts, foundations and community donations. We meet the growing needs of our community by bringing resources and tools to our most vulnerable community members and those who need support to reach their goals.

Our services support pregnant women and new parents, families, children, youth, adults, and seniors through provision of crisis response, support programs, housing, and advocacy. Our programs reach thousands of community members in need through four areas:
