Our Mission
Suffield Community Aid, (SCA) – your local safety net! Formerly Emergency Aid Association, the SCA provides supportive health and social services that positively affect the well-being of Suffield residents during periods of need.
The SCA is here, as it has been since 1903, to offer the resources and support that community members require to move forward in their lives. We strive to enhance the full potentials of all residents, and thereby, improve the overall quality of life in our community.
