“Events like the Gala are an essential piece of our fundraising efforts. It’s a fun night, a special event and it also allows us to cover operating expenses and continue providing these life-changing services to hurting people in our community,” says Compassion United’s Communications Director.

About Compassion United:

Compassion United began as a family effort, when Luke and Karla Redus decided to feed the homeless in their city. The couple and their kids bought simple ingredients, prepared breakfast tacos and headed into downtown Conroe. The mission was initially to simply feed people, but they quickly realized the need was much greater.

What began as a single initiative to feed the homeless has evolved into the most comprehensive support organization in Montgomery County. Almost two decades later, their commitment to serving people remains central to everything they do, but the focus has grown into a more precise and dynamic mission: outreach, relief, and empowerment.
