Project Compassion We recruit and organize volunteers who provide one-to-one visits with nursing home residents, particularly those without friends or family to visit them.

History:
Project Compassion, Inc. is a Fort Smith based organization dedicated to the dream come true of its founder, the late Gloria White. She worked tirelessly to see that nursing home residents had companionship. Project Compassion began in 1972 as a volunteer one-to-one visitation program. Values and Vision:
In the busyness of every day life, nursing home residents, particularly those without family close by, are often overlooked and their need for friends and visitors is unseen. They need to belong and to be of value to others. Everyone deserves friendship. Listening can be the most appreciated gift one can give an older adult. Your gift of time to visit a resident shows that you care. Your concern helps them feel included and loved. Our Hearts of Gold campaign helps provide gifts of warm clothing and blankets to those with no family at Christmas. At Easter, our volunteers collect and deliver plush bunnies, stuffed animals, and other small gifts to residents. The real measure of our lives is in what we learn from our life experiences, the values we live by, and what we share with others. YOU can bring joy and really make a difference in someone’s life! Programs and Services:
Our Volunteers Can:
Be a friend, listen to residents as they reminisce
Read books, newspapers, letters or cards
Play bingo, games, work puzzles
Accompany residents to events and activities in the facility and to “field trips” in the local community
Music or Pet Therapy
Help with special events throughout the year and holidays
Write to a resident

It is an honor to share news of an extraordinary blessing gift that we received today from the Baptist Health Women’s Auxiliary.
Through many years of service to our local community, this group has made a positive difference for many people in so many ways. With kindness, hard work, generosity, and a heart for their mission, the Baptist Health Women’s Auxiliary built a legacy of connecting people in need with help and support.
This gift to Project Compassion is an extension of their commitment to this community as their light will continue to shine through our service to nursing home residents. We do not charge for our services and our mission continues to honor the vision and legacy of our foundress, the late Gloria White. As we bring joy, companionship, and meaningful connection to those who need it most, we are grateful to be blessed by partners and supporters who believe in serving all for the greater good.
We grieve the ending of this era for The Baptist Women’s Auxiliary, but we celebrate them for their countless good works and service. With much appreciation, we give our sincere thanks to these wonderful women for their generosity and this gift! ❤️
