About Me
What is COMPASSION? Can it be defined? Can it be created? At Compassion Clothing, we believe that compassion is more than just a word and even more than a shirt. Clothing yourself in COMPASSION is bigger than putting on physical apparel, it is about opening your eyes to those around you and becoming selfless in order to see change. We encourage love above all else and stand firm in God’s perfect COMPASSION for everyone. Our challenge is moving beyond ourselves to truly take on something greater--something life changing.
Though we cannot truly define COMPASSION we believe its foundation rests in love. Love for God, love for others, and even having love for oneself to see an amazing person capable of changing the world. We also believe we are called to reproduce the COMPASSION that has been revealed to us, and show that there is a truth in COMPASSION and COMPASSION will always be in.
So we say “clothe yourself in compassion†and let this clothing convey COMPASSION when words and actions sometimes fail. Wear COMPASSION on your chest and let this apparel be a reminder of our duty to live in love everyday. Most of all, be the difference you want to see in the world. WE ARE COMPASSION.
Compassion Clothing is a non-profit company out of Orlando, FL. We have begun to work with local and national organizations to help visualize the art of COMPASSION and financially work to meet their needs. We also strive to mobilize people to support the movement of COMPASSION helping these charities and organizations above the monetary donation.

After doing the calculations from the night before, we realized that we are completely sold out of the "New Movement" shirt. With none available online, in stores, or even back at headquarters, "New Movement" becomes the first shirt that we completely sold out of. This honor would have gone to the "Waiting for Fruit" shirt awhile back, but we still have a 2XL available in The Exchange up in Gainesville. "New Movement" was the second shirt we put out, so thanks to everyone who bought one, you won a piece of history!

About for about 2 weeks and available online for the past week is our newest shirt, "Hope Looks Different." The unique thing about this shirt, is that is just doesn't give some money from its sales to a local organization but all proceeds go to Redeeming Africa's Hope. These type of shirts are something that will continue on the horizon of Compassion Clothing as we grow in our support of local and national organization. Also a new spring promotion featuring the shirt is now up. The promotion was done by J Vladimir Photography.
