Passionate Service for Seventeen Years
In 1990, Mr. Harrison Lim, the Executive Director of San Francisco Charity Cultural Services Center,
saw a need for serving new immigrants in Silicon Valley. He approached Mrs. Helen Lee,
a community leader and activist in Silicon Valley, about this need and together they developed a
vision for a Silicon Valley chapter of Charity Cultural Services Center. Mrs. Lee then approached
successful Chinese American leaders in the Silicon Valley to enlist their support. Thereafter, the
first Silicon Valley Crosscultural Community Services Center Board of Directors was formed. These
Board members were a group of first generation immigrants who achieved their
American dream and wanted to contribute to their adopted country by helping others. They played
a vital role in further developing the strategic directions and goals of Crosscultural Community Services
Center in Silicon Valley.
Over the years, through the hard work and dedication of the diverse past and present board members, the staff,
and many generous friends, Crosscultural Community Services Center has experienced a significant increase
in the variety of services offered to the community. Originally supported only by the local Chinese American community,
CCSC now receives additional funding through government funding and private foundations. Today,
the original Silicon Valley "chapter" of Charity Community Services Center exists as it's own entity as
Crosscultural Community Services Center, and is known for its quality service to the families and children in need
in the Silicon Valley.
