Exciting news!

The Compassion Society has moved to its own storefront at 175 Plains Road East. This move was made possible by the support of Partnering Aldershot, ForestView – church without walls, Tapestry Church, the Halton Mosque and Rotary Club Lakeshore.

We are thankful to our friends at Aldershot Presbyterian Church for housing us the last few years and look forward to the opportunities our new location brings to us.

History

Compassion Society has humble beginnings.

It started out in 2001 as one rack of free clothing in Mina’s basement and has grown over 6 years to be 13 racks of clothes, linens, shoes as well as children’s items and small kitchen accessories.

In December 2004 Compassion Society partnered with Aldershot Presbyterian Church who provides in-kind space and practical support. In 2006 Compassion Society received its first funding from the United Way and ForestView – church without walls Vision Fund.

The support and like-mindedness from Aldershot Presbyterian, ForestView – church without walls and the United Way, as well as other churches and social agencies, is why this service has worked so well. The growth of the Compassion Society is evidence of the need.
