Mission

Founded in 1970, Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS) is an independent nonprofit organization serving residents of Sunnyvale, California, as well as the Alviso community of San Jose. We also assist unhoused individuals and families. The mission of SCS is to prevent homelessness and hunger in our local community. Our vision is a community where everyone has a home with food on the table. SCS serves as a safety-net hub for underserved residents in north Santa Clara County and works to support any individual who comes to our agency seeking services, regardless of their city of residence. SCS provides financial aid, food, case management, and other support for the most vulnerable in our local community. Services include financial aid for rent, utilities, and other critical needs; weekly food and produce distributions; Intensive Case Management for families and seniors who are homeless or at risk of homelessness; Kids' "Ready to Learn” summer food and back-to-school supplies program; annual Holiday Program; "WorkFirst Sunnyvale" Workforce Development Program for homeless individuals; and onsite referrals to additional benefits and services.
