Community Christian Service Agency: CCSA is an ecumenical organization of Christian churches, including Good Samaritan that provides emergency assistance to homeless and low-income families in Clairemont (Clairemont Service Center) and Pacific Beach (Joyce Snyder Center). In August 2006, Good Samaritans provided approximately 40 backpacks with school supplies and cash donations to the CCSA "Back-to-School" program.

Good Samaritans and friends participate in CCSA’s Annual Hunger Walk, a major fundraiser for the agency.
Throughout the year churchgoers purchase food items for the "Meal-in-a-Sack" program, which aids the agency's daily distribution of food to the needy. In addition, Good Samaritan provides cans of beef stew on an ongoing basis for the CCSA food pantry. In answer to an appeal from the President of the CCSA Board of Directors, Good Samaritan mounted a food drive in December to help restock the Clairemont Service Center food pantry, which traditionally becomes depleted in at the end of each year.

Volunteers are invited to assist in the clothing room and food pantry. Volunteer nurses are needed at the Joyce Snyder Center to offer first aid to the homeless. Contact Eric Lynn for additional information.
