Welcome To Our Community!
The Community of
Caring is an international organization headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania,
USA. Since 1980
we have provided food, clothing, shelter, and other basic
necessities for people in Erie and throughout the world.
The mission of the Community of
Caring is to help impoverished people throughout the world to
meet their unmet needs, both physical (shelter, food and
clothing) and spiritual, so far as resources permit.
This is to be done in a caring and
compassionate way, reflecting the love of Christ, so as to
preserve the dignity of the individual.
Thanks to dedicated staff and
volunteers we have helped thousands of people throughout the
years. We don't just provide basic physical
necessities; we also feed the heart and spirit. People
need love, acceptance, and a feeling that they can make a
difference. COC provides a healing, nurturing
community which makes this possible.
The most important thing we do is to let people know that we love them.
Elder Charles C. Kennedy and Mother Mary Beth Kennedy
founded the Community of Caring in 1980. It is registered
with the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) as a private voluntary organization. There are
independent local chapters in 5 U.S. cities and in 8
countries in Africa and the Caribbean.

least one act of kindness every day.
