About Us

History

Established in 1960 to promote the welfare of the individuals and families living in the Roanoke Valley, the Council of Community Services studies community needs, evaluates and improves upon available resources, and establishes new resources to benefit those in need.

Vision

We envision a future in which all people have equitable pathways to health, housing, and resources.

Mission

The Council of Community Services is committed to improving health, ending homelessness, and increasing access to resources.

Values

As an organization, we’re committed to providing leadership that broadens social access to essential services in a way that is non-judgmental, neutral, and all-inclusive.

Improving community access to resources is a big job—and we can’t do it alone. The Council of Community Services is dedicated to maximizing our impact through collaborative relationships, efficiency, and holding one another accountable. We operate with integrity and model the high standards that we seek to support in the community we serve.
