Everyone at ACSA prides themselves on the alliances they have built with the Agincourt Community in Scarborough. Servicing the needs of our community members is our number one priority- something we would not be able to do without the direct support of community services and agencies.
In June, the Agency was renamed Centre for Immigrant and Community Services on its 45th anniversary, to better reflect the nature of its mission, programs and activities. In January, a commercial- grade community kitchen was completed to allow for food, nutrition and health-related programming.
Carefirst Seniors & Community Services Association is a non-profit charitable community services agency established since 1976. Our spectrum of services has grown from the delivery of Chinese meals-on-wheels service to a full range of community support services, covering the whole Greater Toronto Area, and the York Region.
ACSA addresses a variety of issues including systemic poverty, hunger, housing, homelessness, unemployment, accessibility and social isolation. Over the years ACSA has been funded by all levels of government, several foundations, schools, local faith communities, and The United Way of Greater Toronto. Its strength remains in the original concept: To act as a bridge between people who need help and those who can provide it
