Welcome to the SW Community Center, located in Santa Ana, CA

45 YEARS OF SHARING, CARING AND GIVING.

Our Mission...

We provide food, clothing, shelter, guidance, health and referral services to economically disadvantaged individuals and families, and assist and encourage those whom we serve to achieve self-sufficiency.

2018 Update 

For the first time in over 40 years, we face the real possibility of reducing services to our clients. The need is increasing, but our contributions are only about half of last year.

Hannah Jones hands out food to those in need at the Southwest Community Center in Santa Ana. Her great- great-grandmother Annie Mae Tripp started feeding people in the 1970s.
