What is Season of Compassion

Season of Compassion is Celebration’s annual holiday-season community service and outreach ministry. Through this annual effort, we work to meet the needs of hundreds of individuals and families in the Tallahassee community. We do this through various projects of giving and service.  

God met humanity’s greatest need in generously giving His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, as a ransom for sin, for all those who would believe and trust in His birth, life, and finished work on the cross and resurrection. As followers of Christ, we seek to model God’s generosity in our lives by giving of our time and resources that others may know the love of Christ at Christmas.

Franklin County Jail

Franklin County Jail

For many years, Celebration has partnered with the Franklin County Jail to provide gifts that incarcerated parents can give their children. Each Christmas, the jail hosts a party where families spend time together and parents present these gifts in person. 

The impact goes beyond the holiday. Research shows that strong relationships between incarcerated parents and their children help reduce the likelihood of reoffending after release.
