Who We Are

As part of the Compassion Center family, our Community Resource Centers (CRCs) are dedicated to creating a supportive environment that nurtures both physical and mental health by balancing mind, body, and spirit with activities that enhance daily living and lifestyle choices. Our centers provide spaces for the community to congregate, network, and engage in activities that boost circulation, mobility, and mood. Whether someone is looking to join a group, connect with a local co-op offering organic, biodiverse vegetables, grass-fed livestock, locker meats, or whole grains, the possibilities are endless—and so are the savings—because Compassion Center goes above and beyond to build community value.

Products and Services: All are brokered under the oversight of an independent local 501(c)(3) organization, ensuring that morals, ethics, accountability, and transparency are upheld, while supporting viable community-based organizations in tandem with Compassion Center’s initiative to enhance the biophysical wellness, mental health, and spiritual balance of the community. Each product, service, and produce offering is rigorously evaluated to meet or exceed established standards before being purchased at wholesale prices. Employees are paid living wages, local farmers and supply chains are supported, and proceeds contribute to the Compassion Center’s socioeconomic, education, healthcare, and mental health programs—a true win-win-win. All products and services undergo quality assurance and verification, with random sample testing to maintain standards. Management of each CRC is overseen by an external 501(c)(3) organization to preserve the spirit of our mission, support impactful community organizations, and ensure the health of our patient populations.

Program Alignment: By aligning people with the tools and resources necessary to thrive—including programs that restore a sense of agency, health, wellness, or balance—those who have otherwise lost their way can find viable solutions, or remove barriers that stand in the way of living their best lives. Compassion Center’s Community Resource Centers focus on quietly aligning people with the social services, education, mental health, and integrative healthcare services they need to flourish, without discrimination. Providing our communities with access to resources custom-curated to empower biophysical wellness, mental health, and overall well-being has been part of our core mission since our founding in 2001.

 

Available Formats: Attend select brick-and-mortar locations across the country or participate nationwide online, CRCs are more than just wellness centers—they are hubs of community connection and integrative health, fostering balance and well-being for all. Regardless of one’s professional background, there are peer groups beyond one’s social circle that offer the support needed to keep private struggles private while engaging with those who can truly relate. Whether it’s combat vets connecting with fellow combat vets, first responders with first responders, or prostate cancer patients with others facing the same challenges, Compassion Center curates the most beneficial programs tailored to these minority populations. We then creatively expand these programs into other communities, ensuring sustainability and maximum impact.
