The success at Cross Roads House would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Whether you can help a couple of hours a week or a couple of hours a month, we would appreciate your time and energy. We typically need help in these areas:
- Preparing and Serving Breakfast
- Preparing and Serving Dinner
- Child Care
- Pick Up
- Group Days of Service
Wish List
We appreciate donations of food and personal hygiene products for our residents.
During the holiday season, Cross Roads House presents each adult resident with a gift bag (families are sponsored separately). Please help us fill these gift bags by donating items from our Holiday Wish List. In addition to providing gifts for our residents, financial donations are always needed to help fund shelter operations.
