SJTW & CROSS Services
At St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Community, we are committed to living out our faith through service. One of the ways we put our faith into action is through our longstanding partnership with CROSS Services in Rogers, a nonprofit organization that lovingly serves families and individuals in need right here in our local community.Many SJTW parishioners volunteer at CROSS on a weekly basis, offering their time and energy to help stock shelves, organize donations, and more to serve others with compassion.We also support CROSS through:- An ongoing food collection — there is always a non-perishable donation bin in the Faith Formation Gathering Space.
- Annual donation of backpacks filled with school supplies, helping local children start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed.
- Special collections to support CROSS’ outreach to those living on the margins.
- And much more!
