Who Are We?
Families Helping Families — Right Here in Our Community
Compassion Connections Foundation is a Selkirk-based non-profit supporting individuals and families through life’s most difficult moments.
We understand how quickly life can change — whether it’s illness, financial hardship, or unexpected challenges. That’s why we step in to provide real, meaningful support when it’s needed most.
Through community-driven initiatives, fundraising events, and direct assistance, we are committed to helping families feel seen, supported, and never alone.
Because when one family is struggling, our entire community feels it — and together, we can make a difference.

Every donation helps us provide real support to families in our community facing some of life’s most difficult moments.
Whether it’s helping someone create a memory like Mike’s, supporting a family through hardship, or bringing comfort during times like these — your generosity makes it possible.
Mike had one simple wish — to create a memory of a lifetime and experience something special like going to a Jets game! Thanks to the incredible support of our community, along with Brian and Selkirk Handi Transit, we were able to make that wish come true.

“I’ve been following Compassion Connections MB for quite a while now. I’ve been playing the races and reading about the great work they do and finding inspiration in the goodwill they share. Last week I suffered some serious trauma of my own. Within days Compassion Connections MB reached out to me and provided much appreciated support. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to know of this foundation and the people behind it. With all my heart , thank you.”
