South Shore Community Action Council, Inc. (SSCAC), a private, non-profit community action agency, works hand-in-hand with our communities to create opportunities and improve the well-being of low-income individuals and families throughout the South Shore.

SSCAC runs a range of programs in the areas of nutrition and food assistance, home energy and utility assistance, energy conservation assistance, early education and family support, transportation for the elderly and disabled, and income maximization.

Founded in 1965, we have grown to assist over 29,000 low-income individuals of all ages each year from the South Shore, Cape Cod, and the Islands.

In addition to our main office located in Plymouth, we operate 6 Early Education centers (Plymouth, Marshfield, Wareham, Hyannis, Dennis Port, West Yarmouth), 3 Home Energy Assistance intake offices (Plymouth, Mashpee, Martha’s Vineyard), and our Food Distribution Center (Plymouth).
