Campassion

Founder's Story

Business Description

At its core, Campassion is an education-based program. Our mission is to not simply have children practice service, but understand the why of volunteerism through read-alouds, research, discussion, and our daily guests! We have days when we might jump into a HIIT workout at the Bunker Hill Monument, to serving lunch and bingo to seniors in our community, and ending our day with collecting hundreds of items to help those facing insecurities. Our days are packed with so much magic! Some of the activities we’ll be doing are…

Service:

• Golden Age Senior Center: lunch, bingo, and walks with seniors in our community
• FosterLove: Making “Sweetcases” for children in the foster care system
• Donation Drive Work: Daily work researching, promoting, and hosting two days to collect items for Hope & Comfort, Harvest on the Vine, and Cradles 2 Crayons
• Field Trips to community fridges
