Compassion This Way

The heartbeat of Compassion This Way is a ministry called Adopt-a-Block. We serve our community in the spirit of the Gospel by building relationships and meeting physical and spiritual needs of families resulting in transformed lives and restored neighborhoods. We are a consistent presence in the neighborhoods we serve. We minister door-to-door by showing the love and compassion of Jesus in practical ways. Special events are held throughout the year to connect the community; Block parties, ladies makeover days, neighborhood clean-ups, Christmas events, family photo days, mentor’s recognition, and much more.

Compassion This Way’s Core Value:

  • Seeking and building meaningful relationships
  • Serving with compassion
  • Valuing the poor and underserved

Criminal Justice Chaplaincy

Since 1980, Criminal Justice Chaplaincy (CJC) has been helping people whose lives are affected by crime. Children with parents who are involved in the criminal justice system need positive adult role models. Without intervention, these children are seven times more likely to become involved in the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. In CJC’s Mentoring Friends program, volunteers are matched with a child of the same gender, and the volunteer develops a one-on-one friendship that encourages social and emotional growth in the child by engaging the child in fun, beneficial activities. Mentors meet with that child for one or more hours once a week for 9 months to a year.

We need volunteers who are free at these times: Once a Week, Evenings, Weekends

This volunteer opportunity is available to the following types of volunteers: Adults (21+)
