About Us

Who we are

Compassion Cottages, Inc. is a Barrington, Illinois area coalition of community church groups, service organizations and citizens dedicated to providing housing and community services for families in under-resourced areas.

Initially organized in 2007, Compassion Cottages’ first projects focused on assisting families living in the Pass Christian, MS area of the Gulf Coast devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. While still active in Pass Christian, Compassion Cottages now seeks to expand our scope to include other communities in need of restoration closer to Barrington.

Mission

To restore hope and build community in under-resourced areas through support, direction, or partnerships in community development and revitalization projects that are holistic by design and provide a viable foundation for opportunity and life transformation.

Vision

To create holistically-restored communities and fully engage God’s people in the transformation process.
