“FMSC is a great place to volunteer, especially for families with kids. The flexibility is one of the biggest highlights- you can sign up for shifts that fit your schedule.
What really stands out is how welcoming and organized everything is. The activities are meaningful but simple enough for all ages to participate, making it a perfect way to spend quality time together while making a positive impact.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to volunteer in a way that’s flexible, family-friendly, and fulfilling!”
“My brother Rodney Hawthorn would go here to play cards. We had his repass here meeting family and people. Who Love my brother thank you all who came to celebrate his life. Gone too soon”
“My wife received her package several weeks ago and she cried. The thoughtfulness of each and every item is quite touching. She loves the blanket and uses it every chemo day with the booties. She tells everyone she meets about the hope box. God bless all of you for your wonderful work and a sincere heartfelt thanks to whomever requested one for her. Its not the items within the box so much as the outpouring of love and thoughtfulness that builds the spirit to keep cancer victims moving forward in a positive frame of mind. Thank you all!”
“I want to thank the beautiful women at Northwest Compass Mt Prospect for assisting me with my financial hardship. It was literally at the point of no return and things could have gotten drastically worse had they not stepped in to mitigate and advocate on my behalf. I saw the gospel being played out in real time as these women fought for me. I sat in another room but could see through the window how they were leaning forward sitting down on the phone speaking with my debt collector and were displaying love and passion for their jobs and me, their neighbor. We hit some walls along the way but my case worker Brianna McGahee patiently and persistently found a solution for me that has changed the trajectory of my finances in an indescribable way. I want to personally thank Brianna for not giving up on me when it looked like we were out of options. With her by my side it felt like there is always an option on the table. It’s just a matter of having the will to roll up the sleeves and get down in the dirt with someone to give them a hand up.
I highly recommend Brianna for any promotion or pay raise that is available for her. We need more people like her in the field helping those truly in need.
Thanks again to all the women involved in helping me. Praise God! God bless you all!”

“Please understand that Free masonry and the Shriners are not what they used to be 50 years ago. The reason why so many influential men are and were Freemasons From Walt Disney to Colonel Sanders is because Freemasonry used to really help you get ahead in the world.. As the decline of new memberships started the standard of being a Mason also decreased as well out of desperation for members. There’s so many people in here and they don’t even know why they are. It’s something to do In your spare time if you don’t really have friends, but it’s not gonna get you anywhere… Don’t believe me? Talk to Mason yourself and do not be afraid to question their answer Of why they joined Freemasonry and what they got out of it”
“I donate often and this is my go to place to drop off donation now. The staff who receive donations are always polite and courteous. The way they present items for resale, it is obvious how much care and heart they put into it. It looks like a well kept store.”
