BRIDGE THE DIVIDE – JAN 18

THURSDAY, JAN 18


Capital Compassion and Friends of the Neighborhood invite you to join us for a journey to bridge the divide, informed by the Scriptures, led by Pastor Rick Cole on Thursday, January 18, at 6:30pm. Located in the heart of Oak Park, we will experience worship and a message that will bring hope to your soul. Start the new year off with friends, family, and inspiration.   

Our world is diverse, filled with people of different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. While this diversity is a source of strength, it can also lead to division and misunderstanding. Drawing on truth from Ephesians 3 and Micah 6, Pastor Rick is uniting with LaMond Harrison and Friends of the Neighborhood for an evening of worship and inspiration. 

Time: 6:30-8pm

Address: Oak Park- 2863 35th Street

November 2023 Update

November 2023 Update

CAPITAL COMPASSION


It is my pleasure to update you on behalf of Capital Outreach and share the remarkable work we have been doing through our Compassion initiatives. The first update involves our name. We were inspired to replace the name “Outreach” with the name “Compassion.” So, we will now go forward as Capital Compassion.

For decades, Capital has been dedicated to promoting compassion, empathy, and unconditional love. Our initiatives reveal our commitment to fostering a more compassionate world. We are making significant strides in addressing the needs of the most vulnerable members of our community.

In just two months, our Capital Compassion has achieved the following milestones:

Providing Essential Supplies

Through our partnership with World Vision, we connected with 26 churches and non-profit organizations to distribute more than $180,000 worth of household goods to families who were struggling to make ends meet.

Food Insecurity

At our Warehouse location we serve individuals and families every day with groceries and supplies. Our Compassion team of volunteers provided 300 bags of groceries, a fresh lunch, and a bag of winter clothing to encampments on the streets of our city.

Community Events

Our Compassion volunteers served a Rosemont community event to set up tables, canopies, and inflatable bounce houses. We then served the various vendors with support and provided our own station where we gave away several pallets of diapers, body armor drinks, and dog treats to the residents of the community. We also served a midtown event called “Hops and Hounds,” to set-up their event for a day of connecting with the residents.

Community Building

Our Compassion team served three refugee families from Afghanistan with sewing machines to augment their income. We provided their children with stuffed animals that were age appropriate as well as diapers as needed.

We firmly believe that compassion has the power to transform lives and strengthen our community. To sustain and expand our Compassion program, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you. Your support has already made a significant difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Thank you for standing with us to change our world.

I would like to invite you to a special gathering to connect with our Capital Compassion family and learn more about opportunities that are unfolding.
