March Compassion Update
Organizational Overview
Capital Compassion continues to advance its mission of eradicating food insecurity, supporting homeless initiatives, assisting refugees, and providing job training for adults with special needs. Our mission centers on restoring dignity to vulnerable individuals through practical assistance and empowerment programs.
Program Highlights – January through February of 2025

Food Security Initiative
Food insecurity affects millions of Americans, including working families, seniors, and children. Capital Compassion’s food distribution reaches many in need, breaking the cycle of hunger that prevents individuals from thriving.
JAN-FEB 2025
· 58 first time housed guests
· 298 bags of groceries provided to housed guests
· 42 first time unhoused guests
· 319 bags of groceries provided to unhoused guests

Homelessness Support
By addressing the root causes of homelessness and offering comprehensive support services, we help individuals rebuild their lives with dignity. Our homelessness case management provides pathways to stable housing.
JAN-FEB 2025
· Achieved housing placements for 7 individuals
· Implemented comprehensive case management
· Provided food for 153 unhoused individuals

Refugee Assistance
Refugees face enormous challenges when resettling. Our partnership with World Vision, as well as 45 local non-profit partners, enables us to resource refugee families with critical household goods and supplies.
JAN-FEB 2025
· Provided household goods for several non-profits serving refugee families
· Provided groceries and diapers for 30 refugee families

Special Needs Job Training
Adults with special needs often face significant barriers to meaningful employment. Our job training programs develop skills creating pathways to independence and self-sufficiency.
JAN-FEB 2025
· Provided individualized training opportunities 2 days a week for a special needs adult
· Provided once a week training for a group of 6-8 special needs adults
Success Stories
Our dignified approach continues to transform lives. Here are just a few examples:
Michael was successfully placed in a tiny home for transitional housing. We continue to serve him once a week with food and case management toward job acquisition and permanent housing.
Johnnie was mentored for building a resume and submitting job applications. He secured a job after a few years of homelessness. He secured permanent supportive housing and continues to check in for support in his case management.
Ken had been homeless for the past 30 years. He developed a meth addiction to cope with the challenges of life. He started coming to our office once a week for food and found a loving, welcoming environment. After three months of regular visits, Ken announced he was ready for a change. We assisted him in applying for acceptance into a 90 day rehab program with Wellspace. Ken completed the rehab, was placed into housing, and is scheduled for medical services with the VA. He will then be placed into VA housing. In this process of recovery, Ken reconnected with his mother and brother. Ken did not know if his mother was still living and she wondered the same about him. It had been more than 20 years since they had communicated with each other. They are now reunited and celebrating a new chapter in life of sobriety and purpose. There is so much more to this story that is filled with miracles.
Isiah is a 21 year old who came to us searching for connection. His mother is an addict who has been unable to provide any stability. He has been homeless and couch surfing for several months. He visits our office almost daily, finding this a place of acceptance and unconditional love. We have helped him update his resume for job interviews. This week, we were able to connect him to his father who lives in the Palm Springs area and has a job ready for him and a place to stay. We were able to provide transportation for him via Greyhound and he is connecting to a new season in life with hope and possibilities.
The Dignity Difference
What distinguishes Capital Compassion is our unwavering commitment to dignity. We recognize that effective assistance must preserve personal agency and respect. Our efforts are designed not to create dependency, but to empower individuals toward independence.
Looking Forward
In the coming quarter, we are focusing on:

Transitioning to a larger space that will enable us to increase our services
*Moving date TBD May/June 2025

Our new location enables us to add showers and laundry to our services

Adding respite center space for case management

Provide additional job training opportunities for special needs adults

Expand food services for those with food insecurity
