Korean Community Services Inc

KCS aims to provide client-centered, inclusive, expert care to directly improve the well-being of communities and individuals through integrated healthcare, social services, and community programs.

Korean Community Services (KCS) was created as a mission project of St. Nicholas Church in Los Angeles in 1977. Through the 1970’s and 1980’s, KCS emerged as a dynamic social service organization providing job training, information and outreach, counseling, food bank, legal assistance, and educational materials. In 1992, KCS relocated to Orange County, CA and expanded its programs to include mandated court counseling for domestic violence, child abuse, drunk driving, and drug offenders. By 2000, KCS became one of the largest Orange County counseling providers serving the Courts, Probation Department, and Social Services. In 2013, recognizing the immense healthcare needs of the community, KCS began offering health screenings and health education to its counseling and social service clients. By 2016, KCS became a California community clinic and in late 2019, became a Federally Qualified Health Center.

At KCS, we believe everyone deserves access to care they can trust. Every day, we help individuals and families overcome language and financial barriers so they can get the healthcare and support they need. Through compassionate, culturally responsive programs, we improve physical and mental health, strengthen families, and help our community build stable, healthier lives. Your support makes this possible and creates real, lasting change for those who need it most.

Too many individuals and families face real barriers to getting the care they need, whether due to language differences, lack of insurance, limited income, or the stigma surrounding mental health. Without accessible and trusted support, these challenges can lead to worsening health, isolation, and long-term hardship. Families are often forced to delay care, navigate complex systems alone, or go without critical services altogether.
At KCS, we work every day to close these gaps by providing care that is accessible, compassionate, and rooted in understanding. But the need continues to grow, and we cannot do it alone.
Your gift helps individuals and families access trusted care, improve their health, and build stronger futures.
