The Lima / Allen County community has over 200 faith-based and non faith-based organizations that provide support services to Lima / Allen County citizens.  However, identifying and locating these organizations can be a challenge especially when the need for services usually arrives at a time when a loved one is in crisis.  There is currently no comprehensive directory of organizations that lists the services that these organizations provide that is always current and can be updated at any time.

The Community & Social Service Network (CSSN) is an internet informational database dedicated to linking citizens and human service professionals with social services in the greater Lima / Allen County area.  Agencies addressing health, employment, government, emergency, and other services are just a click away for those with internet access.

Lots of information instantly!
Each agency's entry in the database will include contact information and a summary of agency services that can include a seamless link to the agency's web site if available.  By utilizing the search and keyword features, CSSN will be able to immediately provide any individual, social service agency, school, law enforcement agency, emergency medical personnel, etc. with up-to-date information for immediate access or agency referral.

Not everyone owns a computer
The staff at CSSN realizes that not everyone owns a computer and/or has internet access.  However, the Lima Public Library, city and county schools, local law enforcement agencies, Lima YMCA and YWCA, churches, social services agencies, local colleges, universities and technical colleges all have computers and internet access.  In addition, there are future plans to place computers with internet access in our neighborhoods where valuable information can be at the consumer's fingertips of social service providers when they need it the most: when their clients or a member of our community is in crisis.

How to get registered with CSSN
