About Us
Compassion North Inc was originally founded as Roxburgh Park Community Church Facilitation Ministries Inc in 2008, which was then a small registered charity with deductible gift-recipient status. Its first major community-based initiative was the establishment of a foodbank providing quality food free of charge to disadvantaged families in the Hume local government area.
The foodbank quickly grew in size. In addition to the foodbank, two Men’s Sheds were also established. Another foodbank was established at Wallan in 2018 and the list of community projects continued to expand.
In 2019 the charity changed structure and was renamed and rebranded as Compassion North Inc.
Compassion North is committed to creating, encouraging and sponsoring all kinds of community-based programs by:
Training volunteers
Networking and collaborating with other community groups
Working with local government
Raising funds to finance new initiatives
