CCS COVID Resources – Chilliwack Community Services

CCS is open through covid-19

CCS is here to help. During the COVID pandemic, we continue to provide essential services through innovative technological methods. One-on-one and group intervention support services are given to families, youth, and individuals through telephone sessions, Zoom video meetings, and app messaging and texting. Our Gateway Preschool and Childcare program and Community Drivers program are temporarily closed during COVID to ensure staff and client safety.

Below are new initiatives in response to COVID-19 needs in the community.
