Keystone Community
Services is dedicated to strengthening families and community through
quality human services.
Keystone
Community Services (KCS) is a community-based human service organization
serving the Midway and North End areas of St. Paul, the north suburban
communities of Ramsey County and beyond. KCS operates a variety
of human service programs for all ages across our service area at
multiple sites. Our programs include after school programs
for at-risk school age children and youth, IDT (a care and treatment
program for at-risk adolescents), three food shelves, case management
for seniors, the disabled and at-risk families, a comprehensive
Seniors Program that provides Meals on Wheels, peer counseling and
programs for active seniors.
The
administrative headquarters of Keystone Community Services is located
in the Merriam Park Community Center, 2000 St. Anthony Avenue, St.
Paul. Services are provided out of eight other sites.
About
the Merger
Keystone Community Services resulted from a merger
of Merriam Park Community Services and Neighbor to Neighbor in January,
2004. The two community-based agencies had similar services, missions,
values and a long history of working together. The decision to merge
into a single organization grew out of a desire to build a stronger
and more secure future for both agencies and the communities they
serve. As a result, Keystone has been better able to meet increasing
community needs and emerging opportunities and challenges.
About
Our Name

of an arch that locks the parts together and supports the whole.
The name reflects the agency’s pivotal leadership role in
the delivery of human services in the community. It also suggests
the agency’s strength and stability, and its commitment to
excellence and quality in all operations.
