About Us
The Compassion Society is driven by a team of amazingly dedicated volunteers with the gift of time. The organization’s volunteers, two staff, and board actively solicit monetary donations, in-kind donations, and gifts that enable us to serve all the families that come to us in need.
How to help
- Few things in life are as rewarding as knowing you have done something in a very tangible way to help someone less fortunate than yourself.
- You can experience that feeling by becoming a Compassion Society Volunteer.
- Our volunteers are the backbone of our charity. Duties range from sorting clothing, assisting clients with finding items, setting up, cleaning, distributing food, stocking shelves and administrative tasks.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
"I want to be part of a community and workforce where people feel appreciated and are treated with respect and dignity. My aim is to continue the tradition of the Compassion Society being a place where clients feel supported and the volunteers and staff love coming in to help the needier among us. Some great people at Compassion Society inspire me and I hope I live up to their high expectations."
