Thank You for Making the Whoopie Pie Waddle II a Success!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who showed up, walked, ran, sponsored, donated, and supported the Whoopie Pie Waddle II! Your generosity and enthusiasm helped make this event an incredible success—and more importantly, helped move us closer to opening a much-needed sober living home for women in Western Massachusetts.
Whether you were crossing the finish line, cheering on a loved one, volunteering behind the scenes, or contributing in any way—please know how deeply grateful we are. The sense of community and compassion we felt throughout the day was truly inspiring.
Stay tuned—once we receive the event photos, we’ll be sharing them right here on our website and across our social media channels!
Thank you for being a part of this meaningful journey.
With gratitude,
The Compass Recovery Team

Joey’s Deli
Jon, our head chef, has over 25 years of experience in the kitchen, working in restaurants, markets, and banquets.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, Jon, like many others, found himself laid off. While getting coffee one day, he saw a “For Rent” sign in a storefront window. That moment turned his dream of owning a deli and market into a reality, and Joey’s Deli was born.
Named after his best friend and true love, Joanna (“Joey”), whom he met while marathon training, Joey’s Deli is a reflection of their shared passion for food, fitness, and community. Jon and Joey have completed numerous races together, including marathons and ultramarathons, and believe in the importance of health and nutrition. At Joey’s, we believe in supporting our local community, which is why you’ll see local representation in both the products we sell and the food we serve. Joey’s Deli is located at 1226 Springfield St, Feeding Hills, MA 01030.
