Community of Compassion CDC
Our primary mission is to “develop the community with compassion” by creating strong partnerships with diverse stakeholders, designing culturally responsive programs, cultivating the holistic well-being of youth and their families, and fostering economic prosperity for residents, entrepreneurs, and traditionally disadvantaged businesses.
The CERC Center is open every night 7:00pm - 2:00am. We strive to cultivate a vibrant, compassionate community that benefits all youth. Through our programs and initiatives, we seek to empower individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive. From youth programs to workforce development initiatives, we are dedicated to promoting the holistic well-being of our community.
Community Evening
Resource Center
As part of our commitment to serving the less fortunate, we are proud to provide Thanksgiving meals to over 5,000 families every year. Our focus is on individuals who might otherwise go without, including those residing in shelters or facing difficult life circumstances. Every meal we serve is infused with care, compassion, and the hope of fostering a sense of community. Join us in making a difference and creating joyful memories for those who need it most this holiday season.
