About this Fundraiser

Project Compassion began in 1972 when Gloria White visited a friend living in a nursing home. She was stunned by the number of residents who had no visitors. Over 68% of nursing home residents today receive no visitors. Gloria started a one-to-one visitation program and that is still the heartbeat of the organization.

What We Do: Our mission is to bring joy, companionship, and quality of life to residents of nursing homes.

How: Over 300 volunteers provide one-to-one visits, assist with group activities such as reading, crafts, bingo, and pet and music therapies. There is never a fee for our services.

Hearts of Gold, our annual holiday gift drive, strives to provide a meaningful Christmas gifts to the residents in every facility we serve. Gift ideas include sweat suits, pajamas, socks, house shoes, etc. For many residents, especially those with no family, these may be the only new items they receive. This program also assists new residents year-round who arrive with no personal belongings at all.

Where We Serve:
Arkansas Counties:  Crawford, Franklin, Logan, and Sebastian
Oklahoma Counties: LeFlore and Sequoyah
