Compass Supports Bottom-Up Development in India Through Abode of Peace

December, 2011

At a time when Compass and its partners have engaged the Indian economy, developing a logistics network linking India's businesses with U.S. markets, the Compass family recently had the opportunity to support the next generation of India's leaders at the local level.

For over 15 years, Abode of Peace has served as a shelter, a school and a family for children in the city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, India.  Underprivileged children are offered an opportunity to learn, foster friendships with peers and live in a loving and caring environment.  In a recent trip to India, one Compass employee visited Abode of Peace, delivering a generous donation on behalf of Compass and its employees.

Compass remains proud of its tradition of philanthropic efforts that help support the communities that we live and work in.  Those interested in supporting Abode of Peace can e-mail sheelabobby@yahoo.com.

Compass Cares

December, 2011

In the spirit of the holiday season, employees of Compass Forwarding loaded dozens of gifts aboard Santa's 20' cube truck LTL delivery.  This, of course, was not a normal truckload.  The gifts were part of Compass' annual tradition of responding to "Dear Santa" letters from New Yorkers in need in cooperation with 'New York Cares' Winter Wishes' program.

"Every year we are so proud of how our team responds," commented Director of Business Development, Rich Shelala.  "The holidays are a time for giving, and New York Cares does a phenomenal job of connecting children in need with generous 'secret Santas' in the five boroughs.  We love our city, and are more than happy to help Santa in any way we can.  Plus, what an honor to be such a part of Santa's logistics network!"
