Lakeshore Community Outreach Centre
A Listening Ear
Food to Fill the Gap
Information on Community Services
Realizing the urgent need of those experiencing
severe economic and social challenges,
ten Christian churches in the Lorne Park/Clarkson
area formed The Compass to address this
serious and growing social concern within the
community. The Compass provides relief to
people struggling with life's challenges.
Through the building of relationships within
the community and the member churches, we
offer both practical and spiritual support. The
Compass drop-in centre offers coffee, free
groceries and household supplies on a voucher
system, a safe place to visit, and prayer support
when requested.
Our purpose is five fold:
- to respond to those facing economic challenges with food items.
- to respond by offering emotional support, a caring person to listen
and a warm, safe place to visit.
- to respond to those seeking by offering spiritual support and prayer.
- to respond to those with broader needs by supplying them with
information and services available in the Region of Peel.
- To provide other programs that offer practical life skills.
