North County Community Services has been in existence since the late 1960's. It was founded originally as a non-profit organization to assist Oceanside's financially-disadvantaged children and families and has since grown into a much larger group aiding people all over North San Diego County. Its staff of over 100 helps North County citizens with food banks, housing programs and health care. It has offices here in Oceanside and in San Marcos and works with over 90 other agencies.
