Harnessing the Power
of
Community Relationships
to impact our neighborhood's most urgent social challenges
What Do We Do?
CHANGE HAPPENS IN RELATIONSHIP.
Shoreline Community Services (SCS) serves as the nexus – the central point of connection in our community – making sure the most vulnerable in the Central Beach Area of San Diego are cared for with compassion and equity through community relationships. A strategic process is used to:
Determine the most pressing challenges
Find the solutions to those challenges
Identify and organize community members who can assist
Facilitate the execution of the solution
How Do We Do It?
Our current focus is to address the unmet needs of unsheltered individuals and families in the Central Beach Area. Shoreline Community Services steps in to these gaps by offering meals, services and access to housing options.
Coordinating Food Sources
Connecting People to Resources
Exploring Housing Opportunities
Who Are the Partners?
Shoreline Community Services works in association with a growing number of organizations, churches and businesses to enrich and grow services to more than 300 people weekly.
Currently SCS partner churches include Pacific Beach United Methodist Church, Christ Lutheran Church, St. Brigid’s Parish, St. Andrew’s By the Sea Episcopal Church, Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church and Pacific Beach Christian Church.
Proudly, SCS continues a long standing working association with the UCSD Student-run Free Clinic and the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine offering medical, dental and acupuncture services to more than 75 individuals and families each week.
We have worked collaboratively with local organizations, Discover PB, Beautiful PB, the Pacific Beach Town Council, Duwara Consciousness Foundation, District 2/City of San Diego and the Pacific Beach Women’s Club.
