Living in the city of Chicago forces all of us to pay attention to real issues – like poverty, homelessness, and social justice. In one way or another, we’re simply confronted with them everyday. Even though we don’t have many answers when it comes to solving issues like global poverty, we still feel compelled to help meet people’s tangible needs in strategic ways – which is simply an extension of how we already live our lives as followers of JESUS. 

Therefore, 30% of MISSION record sales go directly to a compassion fund where we choose what organizations and people to assist. With a four member board (the band), we meet to discuss various compassion opportunities in both the local and global community – utilizing a list of criteria that organizations and individuals must meet in order to be considered eligible. Through both prayer and individual research, we then make our decision. With each new round of CD pressings, we’ll designate the compassion fund to go toward a specific organization.
