Compassion Cards - A Great Idea From City Rescue Mission

City Rescue Mission in downtown Oklahoma City has developed a "Compassion Card" to help Oklahoma City address the issue of panhandling.  It's a simple concept, really, but it provides a great service.  All you do is download the Compassion Card for free (they come 8 to a page), and take them with you wherever you go around Oklahoma City.  After you give the recipient a card, they can use it to call City Rescue Mission, who will come pick them up and provide them with clothing, shelter, food, and HOPE!

What happens if you give somebody the card, and they aren't grateful?  What do you tell the person about the card when you give it to them?  What if they ask for money, anyway? No worries!  City Rescue Mission provides a 6 minute training video that will answer these questions and more.  So click on the link above, get you some cards, and help bring some compassion to those who need it most in Oklahoma City.
