Exciting Growth at Capital Compassion

Expansion & Changing Lives

Spring is in the air. It’s amazing how the seasons change, and we are now moving into a new season at Capital Compassion. We are preparing to transition to a larger space, expanding from our current warehouse to a location just a few buildings down the street. This new space will provide an additional 5,000 square feet, allowing us to establish a respite center where people can stay longer throughout the day. Our case management services continue to grow as we help individuals move forward and take the next steps in their lives.

Miracles are happening—literally. Just this week, one of our generous partners, Molnar Construction, donated a desperately needed forklift. The one we’ve been using was on its last leg, and this new equipment will greatly support our work with World Vision. Through this partnership, we supply household goods to refugee families and distribute resources to 45 partner organizations, all working to serve those in desperate need. The impact is real, and the stories of transformed lives continue to grow.

One such story is about a young man, just 21 years old, who has been coming in almost every day. He found himself in a difficult situation—without relationships, without love, and with no real support. His mother, struggling with addiction, lives in another part of the state, leaving him to navigate life on his own. He has been couch surfing and experiencing homelessness, but through our support, he has been building a resume and applying for jobs. Last Thursday, he had an interview, and securing a job will be life-changing for him. He keeps coming back because he has found a place of love, safety, and genuine concern—something he had been missing for so long.

This impact will only increase when we move into our new space in the coming months. With this expansion, we will be able to welcome more people, providing them with a place to stay during the day while we work together on their next steps. Whether it’s entering rehab or securing stable housing, we are witnessing miracle after miracle. These stories continue to grow, and we are excited to share them with you.

Thank you for being a partner in this journey. Now is a crucial time to step into this partnership, as growth comes with an increased need for resources. Every dollar given directly impacts lives, and we are thrilled to see the transformation it brings. There is no greater fulfillment than witnessing lives being touched and changed through the love of Jesus, which we have the privilege of passing on. Thank you for being a partner with Capital Compassion.

GIVING STATEMENTS

As a Jesus-centered compassion organization, we strive to be good stewards of the resources you entrust to us. With God’s blessing and your ongoing support, we will continue to provide food/hunger aid, refugee assistance, unhoused initiatives, special needs job training programs, and bridge building in the Sacramento region.

This past year involved a transition from one non-profit organization, Capital Christian Center, to a new non-profit organization, Capital Compassion. We were Capital Christian Center from January 1 through February 22. At that time, we transitioned to a new non-profit officially recognized by the IRS as Capital Compassion. Gifts made from January 1 through February 22 were receipted through Capital Christian Center, and gifts made from February 23 through December 31 were receipted through Capital Compassion. Donations to the two organizations are recorded on separate giving statements. All gifts given in 2024 to Capital Christian Center or Capital Compassion qualify as tax-deductible giving.

Please check your records to determine that your year-end giving statement matches your personal records. If there is any discrepancy, please contact our office at 916-856-5683 and we will work to make sure your statement matches your records.

As a supporter of Capital Christian Center/Capital Compassion in 2024, you have enabled us to deliver spiritual, economic, social, and physical care to over 1,417 families or individuals in need across our county. We expanded our partnerships to include 45 churches and/or non-profits as we reached out to our neighbors. We have included a 2024 Year In Review to encourage you regarding the impact of your generosity.

Thank you for your unwavering support in 2024. We look forward to increasing our impact in 2025.

You are a blessing in this Kingdom work.

Prayerfully,

Helping Survivors & Restoring Lives

Helping Survivors & Restoring Lives

Needs Are Not Going Away

We’ve launched into the new year of 2025, and every day brings something new. Today, a woman came through and immediately burst into tears when she walked in. We learned that she’s a domestic abuse survivor who had just been discharged from the hospital. She was looking for someone to help guide her through her next steps. Our team walked alongside her, helping her get settled into a safe shelter.

This is what we do every day—people are struggling and searching for a way forward, and we’re here to help them.

We’ve also been talking about Ken Davis (pictured above with permission to post). We helped him get into a rehab program, and he is now free from over 30 years of meth addiction. He’s about halfway through the program and doing well. Ken didn’t even know if his mother was still alive. We helped him reconnect with his family, and this past Saturday, he was able to hug his mother for the first time in over 20 years at the rehab center. It was an emotional reunion, beyond words. Ken was incredibly grateful for our help in bringing him back together with his mom, who had been praying for him all these years. It was nothing short of a miracle.

This is all happening through Capital Compassion—a key part of walking with Ken through his transformation and restoration. We can’t wait for you to hear his full story. We’re also helping him transition into permanent housing and continue sharing his journey.

Thank you for being a part of this work. There is a great need, and those needs are not going away. We appreciate your support and care for what we do every week.
