Compassion New England
Compassion New England (CNE) is a charitable giving organization of Bethany Community Church
CNE was founded during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Bethany Community Church felt the call to help and support the people of the Gulf Coast. They did this by sending tractor trailer trucks full of supplies to the Gulf Coast. From this one event of compassion, they began to see the need all around them and decided that there must be something that they can do to help the people in their own community.
