Carlson Community Services

Carlson Community Services Carlson is a 501(c)(3) non-profit connecting the Irving Park community with programs that enrich lives through education, culture and service.

Carlson Community Services is a non-profit community service organization that grew out of the generosity of three brothers, Helge, Carl and George Carlson. In 2004, upon the death of the last brother, a bequest was made to the Irving Park Lutheran Church, where the brothers had been lifelong members. In 2006, what is now Carlson Community Services was begun with a church grant from the Carlson brother’s bequest. The mission of CCS, which is a 501(c)(3) community service organization, reflects the concern that the Carlson brothers had for those in need in their community.
