MISSION: Inspired by our core values of kindness, compassion, philanthropy, and volunteerism, we honor the legacy of our founder Susan Phippen by supporting families and individuals during times of hardship, spreading joy to those who need it most, and recognizing those dedicated to serving our community.
The Susan Phippen House, home of Scituate Community Christmas, serves as an anchor by providing a warm, welcoming space for outreach and giving while connecting people with charitable organizations to promote the common good.
DIRECT ASSISTANCE & THE BIG GIVE
Central to our mission, our Direct Assistance program is open to Scituate residents, those who work within the town of Scituate, and students at Scituate Public Schools and their families who may need assistance during times of hardship. Applications are available online and we follow a formal intake process. Assistance is offered at the holidays and year round, and all information is kept strictly confidential. Apply HERE.
ACTS OF KINDNESS
In the spirit of SCC Founder Susan Phippen, the Acts of Kindness program helps spread joy and light to those individuals living in Scituate who perhaps have limited contact with family, are overwhelmed, overtired or overworked, and serves as a reminder they are not alone. If you would like to nominate someone, please email us.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Our Community Impact program supports dedicated groups of local residents, from veterans to first responders, teachers to town employees, and serves as a reminder of our collective gratitude for their service and dedication to our community.
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
To deepen our mission, we continue to expand our partner program to make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors. Our valued local and regional non-profit partners include: Plymouth County DCF, SANDS Helps, School on Wheels, Scituate Food Pantry, Scituate Veterans, St. Vincent Depaul and South Shore Foster Closet.
To support our year-round giving mission, we seek volunteers and financial contributions. Thank you!
