About this Event

Compassion Starts Here: An Event to Inspire Action

Hosted by Preble Street


Chris Costa of News Center Maine joins us in conversation with our partners:

Equality Community Center

Greater Portland Health

Immigrant Legal Advocacy Program

Maine Needs


Have you been looking for ways to put compassion into action?


Please join us for a one-of-a-kind hands-on event inspired by work happening right now in our community to create solutions for homelessness and hunger in Maine. Through conversation and action-based programming, we will roll up our sleeves and encourage each other in how we – compassionate community members – can be part of the solution.


Stay for as long as you would like – stop by for a few minutes or join us for the whole event! Listen to a presentation, engage with other community members, or take part in one of the interactive activities happening throughout the evening. This is a family-friendly event. We hope you will leave with a renewed sense of hope and the tools to put your compassion into action.


Optional hands-on activities will include assembling warming and cleaning kits with Maine Needs, signing postcards and making calls to legislators guided by Preble Street and ILAP, and a community art project with Equality Community Center.


Thank you to our generous sponsors for helping to make this event FREE to attend.
