The Compassion Crew went to Memorial Manor to spend time with the elderly and play bingo with them. It was a really fun and meaningful experience. We got to make them smile, laugh, and feel happy by just being there and talking with them. Everyone enjoyed the bingo games and it was nice to see how excited they got. We were also able to make new connections and brighten their day.
We visited The Caring Place, where we helped serve lunch to about 250 men. Three meals are served daily to both the men who live at The Caring Place and to homeless men who come in for a meal. The men were served a drink, a warm cooked meal, and dessert at the end. It was a well-spent afternoon filled with service and gratitude.
After the Category 5 Hurricane Melissa impacted families across Jamaica, the Compassion Crew hosted a special bingo fundraising event to support those affected. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community and everyone who participated, we raised over $20,000 to help provide relief and essential supplies to families in need. We were also able to help local residents build back their homes. We are so proud of what we accomplished together and grateful to everyone who helped make this event a success.
The Compassion Crew teamed up with Great Heights Academy for an inspiring basketball game dedicated to inclusion for high schoolers on the spectrum. The evening featured an energetic halftime show and a "Friendship Dinner" at No Limits Coffee Shop. It was a perfect showcase of our mission to show up, give back, and build lasting local connections.
