Compass Family Services' programs make a difference. They really help homeless and at risk family to get back on their feet with structured services that cover all the needs from housing to child care, therapy or education. Most families then become self sufficient. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Great organization to volunteer for if you want to make an impact!
