South Shore Community Action Council

Our mission is to eliminate poverty on the South Shore by coordinating, strengthening, and supplementing community efforts to empower and support individuals and families so they can live in decency and with dignity, realize their full potential, and participate to the extent of their capabilities in all that our communities have to offer.

We collaborate with hundreds of community partners to provide a range of programs to meet household needs, including childcare, transportation, housing and utility assistance, food and nutrition.

Each year, we serve over 29,000 people from more than 80 communities on the South Shore, South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands.
