Where community members, churches, city officials, and not-for-profits all unite in a bottom-up movement to create an internally resilient community.
At Coalition of Charities, we work to remove roadblocks that keep neighbors from connecting gifts, talents, skills, and life experiences from the sister threads of compassion and kindness.
If you believe everyone can serve and receive with dignity, if you're looking for ways to magnify people in your own community, give back better, and live more impactfully then please join us, you have found a home.
