We are a nonprofit that believes compassion is the pathway to healing, hope, and wholeness. Motivated by our faith, we work alongside local churches and community partners to serve our neighbors and promote human flourishing.
What Does It Mean to Truly Flourish
in Body, Mind, and Spirit?
Our Belief: More Than Just Surviving
Flourishing is about more than just surviving. It is a state of holistic well-being that includes physical and mental well-being, virtue and good character, close social relationships, material stability, and for many spiritual well-being.
We believe that on the other side of hardship and suffering there often exists the potential for a flourishing life.
We believe that every person is created to live with dignity and wholeness. That’s why every meal shared, every child read with, every shower offered is an act of love – meant to restore hope, build connection, and walk with our neighbors towards a fuller and flourishing life.

In Their Words: How Compassion Changes Lives
Because of the food you provide, I no longer have to choose between affording my medications or eating enough each week. Thank you!
This has been my weekly perfect day, because I come here and see people that treat people like human beings...without this program, I don't know what I would have done
Everything you are doing for my daughter and I is very helpful. Thank you so much. I read with her and she is really doing great. Today we worked on words that begin with Y and she did exceptional reading. I love how she really works to figure out words that she is wrestling with!"
I think back to when you helped me feed my children when I was sick in the hospital. My children were at home, frightened and hungry. We didn't have any food in the house during my journey as a cancer patient - you were there for us!"
