As the heart of the Bay Area Italian community, Italian Community Services is focused on preserving our culture, providing trusted services and resources ensuring we all thrive. 

Guided by family, community, education, and goodwill values, we help members of our community, young and old, celebrate their heritage and lead fulfilling, prosperous lives. 

Founded in 1916 by prominent leaders of the Italian community to support Italians and Italian-Americans in need of assistance, we continue this legacy while evolving and adapting to the current needs in our community. 

Originally known as the Italian Board of Relief, the organization’s name has evolved into the Italian Welfare Agency, then Italian-American Community Services Agency, and finally to Italian Community Services, adapting our name to reflect our commitment to meet the needs of the Italian community of today

We are trustees of Casa Fugazi, a place originally built and donated by John and Johanna Fugazi to ensure a home for “benevolent and educational work as well as music, art and culture.”
