For over fifteen years, the focus of the Center of Compassion has been to provide healthy, nutritious foods to those in need. What began as a small pantry program, now operates and oversees a thrift store, as well as a variety of food relief programs. General operating support will allow the organization to reinstate a part-time Executive Director, significantly increasing the organization’s capacity to coordinate the organization’s numerous community programs, as well as the dedicated group of volunteers that support the organization’s work.
