Compassion Conversation: July 30, 2026

Homelessness in the suburbs is closer to home than many realize — and the conversation around it deserves more than a comment section. Starting in July, we're hosting a monthly event at the coffeehouse to bring that conversation off-line and into community. Drinks are on us. Conversations will go from 6:30p-8:30p and we aim to have them live-streamed and available on Facebook and YouTube. 

There is a max of 30 people to attend each month due to space and to help the conversations be productive,

What to expect:

We're working to bring together voices from the City of Anoka, Anoka County, and local nonprofits doing this work — to share data and ground-level insights on suburban homelessness in our area. From there, we'll open the floor for discussion around one of the harder questions: what does it actually look like to show genuine compassion while also holding space for accountability?
