Good afternoon all,
The Board of Directors at CrossRoads Mission want to thank each and every one of you who support our local mission in any fashion with their time, talent, and treasure. March has been our first month in full operation since the epic flood of 2008, and since we began full services to those less fortunate than ourselves operating in the new rebuilt mission location.
This months statistics exceeds all previous months since we began the mission in 2006. We provided, through your Christian generosity, 92 more families with food, showers, clothing, counseling, job search support, baby needs, personal items, and spiritual support over our previous high of 425 families prior to the flood.
Our baby needs for diapers of all sizes, pull ups of all sizes, wipes, etc. have signficantly increased and we need your support. Personal care items like toothpaste, brushes, combs, etc. are flying off the shelf and we again need your support in this area. Food is flying off the shelf faster than ever before, and we need your financial support to purchase increased amounts of food from the HACAP Food Resevoir, as well as food donations from individuals and congregations.
March statistics are:
193 Family Units
517 Folks Received Food
224 Folks Received Free Donated Clothing
Our increased needs are generated not only from those living in the culture of poverty but, those new to poverty due to the flood of 2008, and those reduced to poverty due to the deep recession we are experiencing.
Yours in Christ,
Pat Kane, Diaconal Minister
