Manual Mail Services: Assembly, Packaging and Collating
Compassion to the Rescue is a non-profit that provides packaging, assembly, and collating (envelope stuffing) services for printers, schools, charities, etc. and use those funds to free Chicagoans from human trafficking. Highly motivated volunteers do the labor and the money that these volunteers would have been paid will be donated equally to local safe houses and select trafficking restoration organizations. Because these volunteers are not being paid the hourly wage we are able to do these services for much less than other companies!
At the end of the year a Certified Public Accountant will independently assess how much money remains after all expenses to run the operation are paid. This leftover money will be then sent out to the same group. Both the forgone wages and any profits made will be donated to the organizations.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We were incorporated Nov. 2014
What is your primary product or service?
Mail preparation work. Assembly. Packaging.
Direct aid to survivors of human trafficking.
The coordination of disciplined teams of volunteers to free Chicagoans from modern slavery.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I am obsessed with Compassion. Working against human trafficking is a highly difference making activity in regards to making the world a better place.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are unique. We exist to create from scratch the resources needed to free people from slavery. We don't need donations to do this. We work to create those funds by doing mail preparation work and then donate the proceeds to other non-profits. To accomplish this requires excellent customer service and professional execution of each job.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Chicago area only. We have no current plans to expand.
Provide detailed directions to your location
compassionttr@gmail.com
We provide directions to our place to businesses who need our services.
But for security reasons we do not post our business location. We are after all, stealing from exceptionally violent people.
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash, check, paypal only at this time.
Which areas do you service?
Anything in greater Chicagoland, including northwest Indiana but not Wisconsin.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Non-profits organizations don't have owners. They are run by a director who is overseen by an unpaid (in this case) board. I, Andy Sturges am the director.
What are your hours of operation?
M-F 9AM to 5PM
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
"I can see Christ within you".
Praise from survivors of human trafficking that we help is the only other thing that registers with me personally. An exception to that would be our founder telling me: "Well done, good and faithful servant."
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
"When I was hungry you fed me" and "When I was in prison you visited me". Found in Matthew 25:35ish
