Compassion United

Today is National Cycle to Work Day, and what better day to help equip our friends overcoming homelessness? Our Bike To Work program collects new bicycles as well as used or in-need-of-repair bicycles to get our clients back on the road.

A bike can make all the difference- imagine having consistent transportation to work or to essential appointments! You can be part of the solution for this incredible program.

For people experiencing homelessness, the smallest thing can make a BIG difference. Our Resource Room is stocked with donated clothing, shoes and personal items that help our clients survive and function, and one of the most-requested items is a belt.

This week, thanks to our partnership with Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and their Creative Pathways grant, we were able to provide a belt making workshop. Our clients were empowered to meet an important need with their own hands. What a great learning experience for our community!

Our Bike to Work program is pretty new, but we've seen nearly 100 individuals experiencing homelessness find new hope and opportunities upon receiving a bicycle or bicycle repair.

Our housing program has been in operation for over 15 years and we have seen hundreds of men and women be empowered with the tools to start new, healthier lives.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, partner agencies, and longtime supporters, the new homes will double our capacity and EXPONENTIALLY increase our impact!

We are deeply grateful for the support of Missions On Wheels. Being able to provide hot showers for our clients experiencing homelessness has been so valuable. Looking forward to our ongoing collaboration!

Today, -1 will be leaving Compassion United's campus in Conroe, TX, just two weeks short of three years of active service. We're not done serving Conroe's unhoused population, as ST-5 will be moved in to replace ST-1 while we help C.U. build their own shower trailer.

ST-1 will return to Missions Ranch and be put in the lineup for overhaul, behind ST-8 and ST-2.

If you would like to help us provide showers for the homeless and help us repair/rebuild ST-1 (or 2 & 8), please follow the link to donate.
