Compassion Society Updates
Compassion Society would like to thank Todd and Pluckers Wing and Crab Shack on Plains Road for sponsoring a gift wrapping station through December and making Compassion Society the charity of choice for their Customer Appreciation Event on Dec 15th. Â We would also like to acknowledge the Aldershot Lions Club who generously matched all of the donations raised through this event, raising a total of $1640 in support of those in need in our community!
History
Compassion Society has humble beginnings.
We started out in 2001 as one rack of free clothing in Mina Wahidi’s basement. Over eight years we have grown and now provide clothing, food and community referrals.
The growth process was made possible through the support of various community groups and individuals. These include Aldershot Presbyterian Church, who provided Compassion Society with its first public space, as well as the United Way who provided our first funding in 2006.
More recently, Compassion Society has received its charitable status and we appreciate the support of ForestView – church without walls for helping us in our organizational development. As we find ourselves in a recession, we believe that the services of Compassion Society are critical to helping people through tough times. The growing number of individuals and families that visit us is evidence of this need.
