We are a nonprofit that believes compassion is the pathway to healing, hope, and wholeness. Motivated by our faith, we work alongside local churches and community partners to serve our neighbors and promote human flourishing.
What Does It Mean to Truly Flourish?
Flourishing is more than just surviving. It is a state of whole-person well-being—physical and mental health, strong relationships, stability, character, and purpose. We believe every person is created for a full and meaningful life, with inherent worth and purpose that endures through every season.. Through our compassion programs working together, we build connection and walk alongside our neighbors toward true flourishing—anchored in our vision to build a Compassion Center where love is put into action and the whole community is strengthened.

In Their Words: How Compassion Changes Lives
Because of the food you provide, I no longer have to choose between affording my medications or eating enough each week. Thank you!
This has been my weekly perfect day, because I come here and see people that treat people like human beings...without this program, I don't know what I would have done
Everything you are doing for my daughter and I is very helpful. Thank you so much. I read with her and she is really doing great. Today we worked on words that begin with Y and she did exceptional reading. I love how she really works to figure out words that she is wrestling with!"
I think back to when you helped me feed my children when I was sick in the hospital. My children were at home, frightened and hungry. We didn't have any food in the house during my journey as a cancer patient - you were there for us!"
