Welcome to the Official Website of The Center of Compassion
The Center of Compassion is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, which is located at the Good Counsel Campus in White Plains.
The Center of Compassion is located at 7 Market Street in Dover Plains, New York, where people in need have easy access to our services. The main focus of the Center is to be of service and to be available to those in poverty, especially women and children, the elderly and infirmed.
Our Services
The Center of Compassion helps to serve the people in our community who are struggling financially in a way that helps them preserve their dignity.
Our food pantry provides a private environment that respects their privacy and acknowledges how difficult it is to ask for assistance.
The Center of Compassion Backpack Program provides elementary school children, who are participating in the free breakfast and lunch program, backpacks filled with nutritious foods to insure that healthy nutrition carries on over the weekends.
The Center of Compassion's Free Lunch serves a free hot lunch to families, individuals, seniors, the homebound, and others in need every Wednesday from November - April.
Our volunteers also pack and deliver meals to the homebound and elderly.
The Center of Compassion's Thrift Store offers like-new clothing and house wares at affordable prices.
All proceeds generated by the Thrift Store support The Center of Compassion and its programs.
