Little Rock Compassion Center - Little Rock, Arkansas

I spent about 3 months, 2 of which were in the work program that they offer. The pastor's, the staff, and the volunteers there were very helpful, concederant, and compassionate. I would tell anyone who is having a hard time in life with nowhere to go , that there are still plenty of good people in this world that want to see you succeed in life. The Compassion Center may be the place for you....

PLEASE READ REVIEW! this place is where my Mom went to on August 2nd, 2024. This place is horrible!! all the staff there are Drug users, disrespectful and accused my mom of not doing her chores and kicked her out! My mom has had a rough time and a staff member named “Ms. Tammy” started being mean to her on her second day there. My Mom was only there for 3 days and had enough and left after the place shut down for two days after a physical altercation broke out. Their bed time is at 7:00 PM, make them wake up at 5:30 AM, eat breakfast, then kick them out at 7:00 AM in the HOT sun for 8 hours! This is so diabolical & disgusting! All the staff members are homeless and live at the shelter themselves, sleep with the homeless women. Homeless people aren’t allowed to have their phones there, nor sodas or other drinks, food, but staff members, who are Homeless themselves, can do that. Only thing my mom said was good was that the pastor gave her at least $40 to spend on some good stuff, (which she did) otherwise, everything else sucked! The staff members doesn’t show any compassion towards any of the homeless people (btw this is the Women’s Shelter, and the Men’s shelter is way better, but also horrible for staff members) but are mean, and aggressive to the homeless people. This place is called the Little Rock Disaster Center, rather than “Compassion”.

The owner is a pastor from Minnesota who only hires ex-drug addicts to his staff who are only nice to other addicts. 95% of his staff are ex users. If you're clean and sober the Pastor uses his staff to put you in a worser situation than you came in with. If you make a complaint to him about his staff he will ignore you.

This place is a joke, we called just about every day for a week making sure that this was for Men and women and children!! ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IF YOUR CHILD IS 16 HE CANNOT STAY!!! They only take women and children under the age of ten!!!! The Google images are also pictures of other businesses bc not one of these pictures match either, the men's or the women's facility!!!

This is a really good place for men to go who are homeless also they have church here and they do food pantries and they'll also help you out with a bus pass and a grocery thing if you need it I like The compassion Center and the preacher here is really nice I also do a food pantry but you got to get here early like around 7:00 a.m.

If you're in a MAN,
(which you have to be to get in here),
And in a WHEELCHAIR ♿️:
YOU WILL BE SLEEPING IN THE STREETS!
BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET YOU IN HERE!

So my question is:
"WHERE'S THE (SO-CALLED) COMPASSION?"
IT'S NOT HERE.

The meaning of compassion is the act of being sympathetic: having pity, and concern for others suffering or misfortune. The Little Rock Compassion Center has the lack of compassion. These staff members treat these homeless individuals like they have no worth and it’s indecent on their behalf. They judge these humans more than they assist them during their time of need.
I will begin with I am not and have never been homeless. I attended this bible study at the Compassion Center to gain more knowledge than what I’ve already obtained as well as speak on my knowledge of the Bible. I came for a week straight to this environment to visit someone in the facility and have gained nothing except disappointment for the establishment. Beginning with the lack of care towards their verbal sayings in the behalf of the people seeking help through the center. Following with the loss of effort in most the workers to attempt to bring happiness to any of these people in the shelter. Last of all attending Bible study was only useful in one class out of the many I attended. The Monday service teacher was pleasant and wanted engagement. That in my opinion helps others learn information compared to the others that wouldn’t let any of the individuals speak or engage in the conversation. I had raised my hand to speak for two different staff members. One saw my hand and said he was going to continue speaking without allowing me to speak even when he was done. The other was a lady that unfortunately I can’t remember the name of, but she intentionally ignored my hand that was in the air for quite some time. Eventually ended with her looking at me with a mean mug and telling me no. I had to excuse myself and leave. I in no way, shape or form believe this is how Christians should behave. It was far from love. In my opinion this place isn’t there to truly show compassion or care for others. Yet they show the complete opposite quite well. I will end with the fact that I will no longer be attending said Bible study or church due to the disrespect as well as rude behaviors I encountered today. It was an ungodly setting full of false testimony and actions that showed the opposite of God’s love. As a result I was absolutely unsatisfying.
“Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”
