FOOD & CLOTHING
Each week volunteers cook and serve a homemade meal to over 200 folks living in poverty in Worcester, Massachusetts. These Net of Compassion volunteers also help by organizing and handing out clothing. Many people visiting the Net of Compassion tents are currently struggling with homelessness, active addiction, in early recovery or suffering from untreated mental health concerns.

RECOVERY SUPPORTS
As a peer run organization, many staff have had long term experience with the recovery process. This insight helps to establish great working relationships with clients, which in turn leads to a better understanding of the help they really need. Services include access to shelters and detoxification programs. Through faith based counseling and agency referrals, Net of Compassion helps clients to find hope again.
|
CREATING COMMUNITY
Net of Compassion is creating a community of support for clients and an outlet for volunteerism for the community. Every week they depend on many agencies to help the people they meet on the streets. Faithfully a different group or church volunteers every week to run the food and clothing program. Together they help the addicted, hungry and homeless. It is through this support that Net of Compassion is able to do the great work that they do.
