Our Team and Approach
We are proud to have a dedicated team of volunteers and part-time staff who are trained and supported through our accredited training programs. We work collaboratively with community partners to ensure that every individual and family can access the resources they need to regain control of their lives and thrive.

At Chelsea Community Support Services, we believe in providing a hand up rather than a handout. Our goal is to help those in need not just survive, but thrive, by offering practical solutions and ongoing support in a respectful and compassionate environment.

If you or someone you know is facing hardship, we invite you to reach out to us. We’re here to support you through life’s challenges and help you access the resources you need to move forward.
