Silla Parker and Sandy spend time together at the Compassion Project Rescue adoption event at the Glenwood Springs PetCo on Tuesday.
Alizabeth Koster will typically only have 20 dogs from the shelters in Texas where she does transfers, but this time she had 36.
“We usually transport up once a month … and this time we did a much bigger transport because of the freeze, since a bunch of dogs were freezing and we threw on as many as we safely could.
Koster said she has been a volunteer for Compassion Project Rescue (CPR) for a few months now, as she stood beside a foldable kennel outside the Glenwood Springs PetCo store Tuesday with four eager puppies barking away.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My daughter has been homeschooling for a year and a half. One of the main goals of our homeschooling is to teach her to understand her role in her community and help others whenever possible. This past fall we ran a food drive from our driveway in Oxford and gathered over 1,000 items and $300 for the local food pantry.
Liliana has a new goal. She is working on a Compassion Project for Social Studies. Her goal is to provide gift bags for homeless children in Oxford County. We plan to include hygiene items, hats and mittens, and some fun things for the children (crayons, snacks, coloring books, small games, etc.) I am reaching out to our local community for help with this project. My daughter is hoping to make 30 gift bags for homeless children and will be filling bags until Feb. 1. Please email me at [email protected] if this is something you would like to help with.

When it was founded in September The Inner Man Project gave men in the community a virtual place to go for mental health support and to raise awareness of the issue.
Four months later, they have a physical place to call their own. The Inner Man Project has its own community centre at 6 941 South Railway St.
Co-founder Dylan Eckes says it’s huge for the group to have the space.
“On average we have 30-40 people coming into our peer sessions every week,” he says. “We have two or three counsellors now that basically show up to the peer sessions if anybody needs to talk. They use this space or one of the offices to do their appointments and a lot of these counsellors are doing it volunteer basis so we want to give the space to help each other out.”
ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPASSION PROJECT: A case for hope & human-kindness from the town that beat loneliness

“
All the lonely people. Where do they all belong?” – Beatles (Eleanor Rigby)
The authors write clearly and convincingly. I enjoyed how they conveyed the extent and depth of fatigue, lethargy, dysphoria, loneliness and elimination of positive motivation in the modern world. (Isolation and loneliness is one of the existential givens of life that form part of pioneering psychiatrist Irvin Yalom’s framework). They show how this situation is exacerbated by pandemic regulations that fail to take account of short-term or longer-term psychosocial consequences. “
