About Caledon Community Services

The community’s needs have been CCS’ focus since 1971. Our vision, mission and values guide our conduct with clients, customers, staff, volunteers and other stakeholders. With the opening of the Exchange community hub in 2013, CCS assumed a leadership role in poverty reduction and community building.

Our vision to achieve a ‘healthy, engaged compassionate community for all,’ is our beacon that provides a road map for our work, serving the Caledon community.

CCS provides confidential support addressing the challenges faced by individuals and families.

We offer a range of resources that alleviate hardship and marginalization, such as counselling, fresh nutritious food, help with home heating and utilities, transportation, employment and language training, recreational/educational subsidies and much more.
