HISTORY

KCS, Inc. began in 1975 as the vision of a small Korean church to provide community services to the influx of immigrants coming to Southern California.   KCS aimed to provide hope and access to the thousands of Koreans beginning a new life here in the United States. Hence, the dove logo was adopted.

In the 1980's, the focus of the agency widened as KCS began to service the general population with substance abuse services.

In 1991, KCS expanded to Orange County and established K.C. Services, the substance abuse wing of KCS. In 1997, KCS branched out to provide family violence programs.  At present, KCS continues to offer comprehensive programs that services both the Korean and general population.
