The California State Society gives back to its community here in Washington, D.C. and in California. Throughout the years the CSS has participated in several different community outreach programs.

Suited for Change & Menzfit

Although the California State Society is a 501 (c)(7) non-profit and can’t make large donations, the board members and CSS members work together to give back in a variety of ways. The CSS often chooses organizations to support with ties to California or Californians in need.
