Crossroads Food Pantry began in the 1980's as an outreach ministry to serve those in our community in need of food assistance. Originally our food pantry served approximately 60-80 families per month. Now we are serving approximately 290-300 families each month. Our clients come in all ages from the very elderly, to families with small children, and to families who have combined their resources into one household in order to exist. With a team of dedicated volunteers through the years we have become one of the most popular and sought after pantries on the westside. We supply 3 meals per day for 4 days once a month per member of the household. We are blessed to be able, due to the generosity of our congregation, to serve those who come to us in need.
The Crossroads Food Pantry is open every Tuesday at 4:00pm and every Wednesday at 11:00am. Food distribution begins at those times and continues until the food for that day is gone.
You do not need to be referred by JOIN and you do not need to call to make an appointment.
Crossroads Connect offers students from the neighborhood one-on-one schoolwork help and mentoring each week from our volunteers on Wednesday's at 5:00pm. This program also offers a meal and a message.
Help. Hope. Healing.
