Program areas at Clackamas Service Center
Community nutrition program csc offers a hybrid delivery/community-based approach that offers home delivery of customized, culturally relevant, kid-friendly grocery boxes and pop-up events at schools and other locations with high populations of low-income families. We also offer groceries and serve hot, prepared meals at the csc campus four days a week. Additionally, through our food hub, an 8,000-square-foot warehouse in north Clackamas, we share food with 20 other small and mid-sized organizations. Between all our food distribution efforts, csc shares an average of 110,000 pounds of food monthly with approximately 6,000-10,000 people each month. This marks a dramatic increase from pre-food hub figures of approximately 2,000 people served each month.
Health and hygiene onsite at the main csc campus, we offer hot showers, a clothing closet, use of laundry machines, computer access, mail Service, and one-on-one support three days a week. Dozens of people access these programs each week.
Housing in june 2023, csc began offering housing assistance to Clackamas county residents through a grant from Clackamas county. In 2025, csc added an additional assistance program specifically for milwaukie residents. These grants support people at risk of eviction or overcoming barriers to access housing, and cover a variety of expenses including security deposits, utilities, rental payments, and more. Over 350 individuals have been supported by these programs since their launch.
