The Community Service Club (CSC) offers free assistance to Sun City Anthem residents.  We help our residents to accomplish tasks that allow them to maintain their independence and to live in their own homes for as long as possible.  That may mean, for example, taking a resident to a doctor’s appointment or to the grocery store, making a short term loan of durable medical equipment, pick-up and delivery of groceries or prescription medication, performing minor home maintenance tasks, providing information and referral service, and sponsoring support groups.

NEW CLUB VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED!

Volunteers are the backbone of the CSC. We need your help!
