CROSS Services News

Thank you for your support of CROSS Services
Thanks to all who so generously shared in our recent collection for CROSS Services. We shared $9400 from your second collection envelopes and the used book sale. The book sale resulted in about $1900 of that to help your neighbors in need. 
CROSS Services programs include food, Peace of Mind Housing fund, clothing and household items and school supplies as well as holiday and birthday gifts. 
The food program includes: Kidpack meals, Meals and Wheels senior food delivery and the Mobile Panty that takes food to part of our community where transportaion is a challange. 
If you are in need of help please contact CROSS Services at 763-425-1050.
