Sunnyvale Community Services
Emergency Services for Sunnyvale Residents
Sunnyvale Community Services is here for our neighbors in their time of need. Below are just some of the services available to low-income clients.
Produce Mondays, Monthly Food Distributions, and the School Weekend Food Program are some of the food services we provide to low-income Sunnyvale clients.
Sunnyvale Community Services provided emergency financial aid to approximately 4,700 people in 2016. Financial assistance includes help with rent, rental deposits, utility bills, medically-related bills, and pass-through direct assistance.
Challenge Diabetes Program (CDP)
In partnership with El Camino Healthcare District and Second Harvest Food Bank, eligible clients receive monthly bags of diabetic-friendly food and information on diabetes management and prevention.
School Weekend Food Program
Every Thursday and Friday during the school year, SCS distributes extra bags of kid-friendly food onsite at select Title I low-income schools in Sunnyvale.
Each August SCS distributes brand new backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies and a shoe gift card to clients with school-age children so that they can start the new school year ready from head-to-toe.
The holidays are bright at Sunnyvale Community Services! Every December we give our families the opportunity to shop with dignity for new toys for each of their children, a new gift for their home, and two weeks’ worth of food.
Services are funded in whole or in part by the City of Sunnyvale.
