Cumberland Community School Society helps teach gardening to children.

Nourish. Connect. Thrive.

CCSS is a registered charity that works to improve access to nutritious food, inclusive recreation, lifelong learning and networks of support in Cumberland, BC. We work together to support individuals at every stage of life by fostering connection, belonging, and growth.

Operating independently out of the local school, CCSS provides a Healthy Food Program, After-School Activities, Youth Centre, Community Programs and a Food Share.

 

CCSS envisions a healthy, inclusive and vibrant community where all residents thrive through meaningful connections, security and a sense of belonging.
