Mission Statement
Community Services Unlimited fosters the creation of communities actively working to address the inequalities and systemic barriers that make sustainable communities and self-reliant life-styles unattainable. We are committed to supporting and creating justice-driven community-based programs and educational initiatives, which seek to foster dialogue, and create awareness and critical consciousness. We envision equitable, healthful and sustainable communities that are self-reliant, inter-relating and where every individual has the support and resources needed to develop to their fullest capacity.
About This Cause
CSU has been operating programs to improve the health and wellbeing of residents of South Central Los Angeles since 1977. For almost two decades CSU has leveraged food as an access point to engage, educate, empower and rebuild our community through an interconnected web of programs that include: urban farming; nutrition and agricultural education; youth training and leadership development; and community economic development. As part of this work CSU launched the Village Market Place social enterprise in 2007 to increase access to healthy food and create jobs in SCLA, while also building markets for small farmers and contributing to efforts to build a just regional food system.
