Global Acts of Compassion

Global Acts of Compassion (GAC) is not focused on aid, but on communities participating in compassion. Through their mission to generate compassion between community members to teach acceptance, fight poverty, and positively impact the ecosystem, GAC is helping people realize it feels great to be involved in your community! 

GAC supports community giving through these programs:

GAC volunteers wrap soap for donors and community members in need!

  • Peer-to-peer Soap Fundraising Campaign allows GAC to earn money for programming while also fulfilling their mission of generating compassion between community members. For every handcrafted, organic bar of soap sold, one is donated to partnering organizations to give to their participants in need. 

  • Nourishing Neighbors is a program that allows customers to donate money towards a community member in need’s future meal. Donations to the program are collected at the restaurant, which are then received by GAC in the form of gift cards to that restaurant. Each $10 gift card is distributed to homeless community members and organizations who work with people who would benefit from the program.

  • Community Free Markets bring people from as many different social classes together into an atmosphere that promotes community engagement and acceptance. The market is organized into item type booths and community members can leave or take what they need for free! This includes books, clothing, household items, food, and more. There are also art booths, photo booths, and various free, fun activities for the whole community!

GAC's goal is to teach people that compassion is a necessary practice in order to solve the deeper issues society faces. GAC believes that by choosing to actively prioritize the well-being of others as deeply as our own, we are able to uplift one another to build a healthier, stronger, and more united body of people. Through the work of GAC, outlets are created in communities that make it easier for people to help one another and the ecosystem because GAC understands that communities thrive when the people in them and their environment are taken care of.
