In the first ten (10) days of December 2010 we have provided food to 530 people in 175 family units. We could easily run out of food early next week. The good news is we are scheduled to purchase and pickup food through the HACAP Food Reservoir on Thursday, December 16, 2010. With twenty-one (21) days left in the month of December, we are making this appeal. Our financial donations are also less than anticipated probably due to the recession, ongoing flood recovery in the area, as well as the holidays are on the horizon. So our numbers of folks in need continue to climb, our funds continue to decline, and we are in a crunch to make the ends meet. We have not been supporting folks with rent and utility needs to prevent homelessness for several weeks now due to our current budget.
We are asking all our supporters through this appeal to search your hearts; keep those in poverty in your prayers; and prayerfully consider boosting your support through financial, in-kind non-perishable food, and warm winter clothing donations. CrossRoads Mission is open Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; except we will close at 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. We continue to hold up in prayer our local mission supporters as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continues to be at the center of what we do for the ". . . least of these. . . ." in our community. May you have a blessed Christmas and New Year. God bless!
Yours in Christ,
Pat Kane,
Executive Director
