About the Compassion Action Network
The Compassion Action Network is a collaborative effort of Anoka County Human Services, Faith Communities and Non-profit Organizations working together to help individuals discover the value of their own gifts when connected with the gifts of others and the power of this linkage in meeting our communities' needs.
Mission
To mobilize community organizations to recognize the value and benefits of working together, because when everyone brings something, there is more than enough.
Vision
By working together to serve our community, every community organization will recognize and utilize its own unique gifts and resources.
