Welcome to Compassionate Touch, Inc.
Seeks to ease the burden of others . . .



Compassionate Touch, Inc. began as a humanitarian outreach program of Lifeline Chaplaincy in June of 1997. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit program which provides short term emergency funding (primarily for hotels, food, or parking) to patients and their families who find themselves stranded without financial resources. Assistance to patients is provided through social work department in select Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth & Central Texas area hospitals.

Social Workers assess the needs of the patient and help determine if the patient qualifies for funding. The program assists patients and families in need without regard to their illness/injury, ethnic background or religious preferences. All questions should be directed to your social worker regarding any concerns or changes with your application or funding request. Funding is awarded on a one-time lifetime basis per patient.

Patients convey the need for assistance to Compassionate Touch by addressing their urgent circumstances with their hospital social worker. An application is sent from the social worker to Compassionate Touch.

Donors can feel at ease to know that 95% of the money donated to the Compassionate Touch program goes to the patients in need. (Administrative costs are primarily underwritten by Lifeline Chaplaincy, Inc.) Funds come from caring individuals, corporations, foundations, and faith groups.


Compassionate Touch is very fortunate this year to be part of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) which runs September 1st to December 15th. CFC is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign for federal civilian, postal and military donors. It supports eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.

Compassionate Touch representatives were privileged to attend various Federal departments CFC Division meetings. Many employees from the Postal, Veteran Affairs and IRS facilities were introduced to our unique program which assists patients and their families in several Texas area hospitals. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the CFC campaign.

Compassionate Touch is solely supported by donations from generous individuals, corporations and foundations, as well as Lifeline Chaplaincy. We are honored for the opportunity to be part of a wonderful campaign which allows federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all. READ & SEE MORE
