Somali Community Services of Seattle is a non-profit philanthropic organization that works to improve the quality of life for low-income families and members of the refugee and immigrant community.

Our vision is to enrich, engage, and empower the community of Somali refugees, immigrants, and families in the greater Seattle area.

We are a small organization with big goals, and we see a future where new generations continue to lean into community.  We strive for multi-generational involvement within the community to support each other and raise each other up, and we aim to model this through our giving and support toward families and individuals in the community.

We aim to aid families with basic needs, skills, and services so that they can reach self-sustainability.  We hope to see our community’s children and grandchildren knowing their culture and remaining connected to Somali families, friends, and values.
