More families than ever are turning to CROSS Services for help. Rising costs and job losses are making it harder for families to put food on the table—but together, we can ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
That’s why CROSS Services is participating in the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign (March 1 – April 6), a statewide effort to keep 300 food shelves stocked. It takes all of us—individuals like you, along with businesses, schools, and faith communities—giving what they can, whether through financial support, food donations, or volunteer time.
Every $3 donated provides a meal for a neighbor in need. And this month, your impact goes even further! Thanks to our faith community partners, Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Community and Word of Peace Lutheran Church, every donation is MATCHED—DOUBLING YOUR GENEROSITY!
Together, we can fill bowls and feed lives in our community. Thank you for your support!
We invite you to explore the CROSS Services Blog—your window into the inspiring stories and impactful work happening in our local communities. Here, you’ll find heartfelt tales of volunteerism, community drives, and the incredible efforts of individuals and businesses making a difference.
Read about the pressing needs in our neighborhoods, find meaningful ways to get involved, and be inspired by the stories that showcase the true spirit of giving.
You Matter Here.

At CROSS Services, every volunteer has a story—some take unexpected and inspiring paths. For Lisa, that journey began years ago when, as a young parent, she needed support similar to what CROSS Services provides today. Now retired, she’s chosen to give back by volunteering at our Food Shelf, ensuring others in the community receive the same helping hand she once did.
