The Compassion Ministry of Southside Church helps to meet the needs of those who find themselves, for one reason or another, struggling to make ends meet. From single-parent homes to those who have lost their jobs, no one should have to choose between feeding their families and paying their monthly obligations. Our approach is faith-based and operates through the love and compassion of Jesus. The Compassion Ministry is here to help families have what they need: first, by providing food in partnership with FeedMore; and second, by providing those families with faith-based or other resources through which they can learn, grow, thrive, both spiritually and physically. We are pleased to announce distributions have begun at the Chester Campus located at 13930 Happy Hill Road, Chester, VA 23831. Doors open to the Chester/Chesterfield community every Wednesday at noon.
Would you like to be a part of this hands-on ministry? We are always looking for people to help with direct store pick-up and delivery, client receptionists, client in-take workers, distribution workers, client aids, and general maintenance and cleaning. Please volunteer by registering here.

Lucy Corr Nursing Home is a nursing home and residential assisted living center located in the heart of Chesterfield County. Often, there are residents in these facilities who experience feelings of sadness, loneliness and lack of hope. Volunteers from Southside present worship and music programs every other month to any residents, visitors, and staff who choose to attend. The purpose is to share the peace, hope, love and joy of Jesus. According to Helen Keller, “We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others.” Are you willing to spend a few hours every other month to brighten the day of someone else?
