The Community World Engagement Team is excited to announce a new partnership between Community Church at Tellico Village and Compassion Ministries. Compassion Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit and has been serving local families and meeting disaster needs for over a decade. In 2019, the organization provided food to 82,475 individuals! Our church first volunteered with Compassionate Ministries when doing disaster relief in Cookeville, TN this spring. We were impressed both with their resources and with the organization’s commitment to being the hands and feet of Jesus. Their greatest need right now is for volunteers to help with distribution of food at their food pantries. We have committed to sending volunteers from our church for two main programs. For both the local and mobile pantries, the work you would do in distributing food as a volunteer would involve being on your feet for an extended period of time and light lifting.
 
Second, Compassion Ministries provides a mobile food pantry once a month to area counties. We send volunteers who can provide a longer time commitment.
 
We believe in Compassion Ministries mission and have seen God work in connecting us to them. We hope you’ll consider volunteering.
