Charity Cultural Services Center (CCSC) has a consistent record of participation in Chinatown neighborhood cleanup activities. CCSC has partnered with the Mayor's Office in extensive Chinatown cleanup and maintenance programs and neighborhood beautification projects.

CCSC supports two specific programs:

The Chinatown Neighborhood Beautification Project conducts regular beautification activities in San Francisco's Chinatown/North Beach neighborhoods. The project works towards improving the image while at the same time celebrating the beauty and history of the neighborhood. Aiming to accelerate the development and growth of local-based businesses while providing residents with a new vision for economic and cultural development.

The Chinatown Energy And Material Conservation Project called the "Respect Project," is CCSC's program working to empower the local Chinatown and greater Bay Area Chinese communities by implementing a culturally specific conservation education and mobilization program. In partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the California Public Utilities Commission, and the San Francisco Office of Solid Waste Management, CCSC provides outreach and dialogue with the community, developing translations of current materials and a culturally specific marketing campaign to involve the Bay Area Chinese American population in sustainable environmental conservation customs.
