Northwest Compass, Inc. When individuals, families, veterans and unaccompanied youth are in housing crisis or find themselves food insecure, where do they turn? Why?

We recently hosted Voices Mental Health Focus Group organized by United Palatine Coalition and weโ€™re deeply moved by the shared authentic perspectives of our community member. Capturing those acutely personal points of view was truly is a powerful step. The common thread was clear: economic hardship places massive constraints on daily life. From the stressful trade-offs of budgeting to the hidden costs of time and mental energy, navigating these financial pressures and finding real help is a reality for many of us right now. When you connect with community members in a supportive and inclusive environment to discuss the heavy constraints of hidden challenges, it helps to frame the conversation around shared problem-solving rather than just the struggle! Itโ€™s also about getting connected, seen, hopeful and build a better community together! ๐Ÿ’ซ

World Homeless Day is observed today. It is a day to raise awareness, challenge stigmas, and support individuals and families affected by homelessness. A home means comfort, safety and opportunity to regain strength and face the life with renewed energy and hope. Today is a reminder that having a place to call home canโ€™t be taken for granted and behind every person experiencing homelessness is a human being with a story, feelings, hopes, and dreams.
We strive to provide help and support to many struggling with housing insecurity and homelessness and we witness how even little compassion can go a long way. Let's choose kindness over judgment and always remember those still searching for one.๐Ÿ โค๏ธ

Ending homelessness isn't just about providing a roof-it's about restoring safety, dignity, and a fresh start for victims who have survived the unimaginable. ๐Ÿ›Œโค๏ธ
Imagine living in a garage space, facing barrier after barrier, just trying to survive day by day. This was the reality for this devoted mom, who did everything possible to keep her family together. But homelessness doesn't have to be the end of their story.
We recently had the opportunity of stepping up to provide a safe, stable home that will change the entire trajectory of their life. When we remove the immediate threat of instability, we give them the breathing room to heal, rebuild, and look toward the future.
It truly takes a village to break these barriers. Let's work together to ensure every victim has a safe place to call home.๐Ÿก

๐ŸŽ‰It is DAF Day, the national day of donor-advised fund giving, when thousands of donors put their charitable dollars to work at the same time. ๐Ÿ’ฅ
Today, generosity has evolved again, and we've evolved with it. Now we accept donations of cryptocurrency, stocks, and grants from donor-advised funds (DAFs).
What will YOUR DAF do? Recommend a grant to Northwest Compass in minutes! ๐ŸŒŸ
There's a practical upside too: ๐Ÿ“ˆdonating appreciated crypto or stock held more than a year may let you avoid capital gains tax and deduct the full fair market value. More impact for people in our community affected by food and housing rising costs and often at a lower real cost to you.๐Ÿ’ต
If you hold a DAF, your giving decision is the easy kind: the money is already set aside for charity, your tax deduction is already done, and recommending a grant to Northwest Compass takes about two minutes.
Works with Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360, Vanguard Charitable, Daffy, and most major providers.
โœ… Celebrate the power of giving together by spreading the word
โค๏ธToday your DAF can do more than ever before. Join us and be part of the movement.
