We are a non-profit registered charity providing social services primarily in Surrey, Delta, White Rock, and Langley. We believe in helping people help themselves. We believe in collaborating with individuals, businesses, community groups, and government to create focused, effective, and responsive resources for the community.

Effective April 1, 2009, two societies merged to create Options Community Services Society (OCS). Surrey Community Services Society had been providing services in response to the needs of Surrey residents since 1971 and OPTIONS: Services to Communities Society had been building services in Surrey since 1973. The merger allowed the new organization to be even more responsive to the needs of a rapidly growing community.

During our early years, our two former agencies operated transition houses for abused women and their children, crisis lines, counselling services, youth shelters, and transportation for seniors and the disabled. Our commitment to empowering individuals, supporting families, and promoting community health has resulted in many new programs and partnerships for nearly 50 years.
