At CROSS Services, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide essential resources to those in need, helping to foster a thriving community where everyone is valued and supported. This mission is rooted in the belief that every person, regardless of their role, is vital to the success of our organization. Whether you’re a volunteer, an in-kind donor, a monetary donor, a sponsor, a team member, or a client in need of assistance, you matter here.
Volunteers and Board Members: The Backbone of Our Operations
Volunteers are the heartbeat of CROSS Services. They are the ones who stock the shelves, sort donations, distribute food, and lend a listening ear to those who come through our doors. Without the dedication of our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to serve the thousands of families and individuals who rely on us each year.
Equally important are our board members, who volunteer their time and expertise to guide the strategic direction of our organization. Their leadership, governance, and commitment to our mission ensure that CROSS Services remains a trusted and effective resource in the community. Every hour spent volunteering, whether on the front lines or in the boardroom, is an hour spent making a difference in someone’s life. You matter here because your time and effort are the building blocks of the support we provide.
In-Kind Donors and Community Partners: Providing Tangible Support
In-kind donors supply the goods and materials that are crucial to our day-to-day operations. From food and clothing to household items and school supplies, the generosity of in-kind donors ensures that our clients have access to the essentials they need. These donations go directly to individuals and families, making an immediate impact on their quality of life.
Our community partners, who host events, food drives, clothing collections, etc. are an essential extension of our efforts. By rallying their networks and communities, these partners help us gather the resources needed to support our clients throughout the year. Their contributions and initiatives amplify our reach and impact, making it possible for CROSS Services to serve more people in need.
You matter here because your contributions and partnerships provide hope and comfort to those facing difficult times, and together, we create a stronger safety net for our community.
Monetary Donors: Fueling Our Mission
Financial contributions are the lifeblood of CROSS Services. Monetary donors provide the funds that allow us to keep our doors open, expand our programs, and reach more people in need. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring donation, every dollar counts and is used to further our mission of supporting the community. You matter here because your financial support enables us to continue our work and adapt to the growing needs of our neighbors.
Event Sponsors: Partners in Community Building
Event sponsors play a critical role in amplifying the impact of CROSS Services. By supporting our events, sponsors not only provide essential funding but also help raise awareness about the challenges facing our community. These events are more than just fundraising opportunities—they’re a way to bring the community together, share our mission, and celebrate the collective effort to make a difference. You matter here because your sponsorship makes it possible for us to host impactful events that engage and inspire our community.
Team Members: The Heart and Soul of Our Organization
The dedicated team members of CROSS Services are the ones who bring our mission to life every day. From the front-line staff who interact with clients to the administrators who manage our operations, every team member plays a crucial role in ensuring that we deliver on our promise to serve those in need. You matter here because your commitment and passion drive the success of our programs and services.
Clients: The Reason We Exist
Finally, and most importantly, our clients—those who come to CROSS Services seeking help—are at the very heart of everything we do. We recognize the courage it takes to ask for help, and we are here to offer support with dignity and respect. Our clients matter deeply to us because their well-being is the reason CROSS Services exists. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming space where everyone is treated with compassion and care. You matter here because your needs guide our mission and inspire us to do better every day.
More than a Tagline
At CROSS Services, “you matter here” is more than just a tagline; it’s the guiding principle of our work. We believe that everyone—volunteers, donors, sponsors, team members, community partners, and clients—plays a vital role in building a stronger, more resilient community. Together, we can make a lasting impact, ensuring that everyone in our community has the support they need to thrive.
Thank you for being part of the CROSS Services family. You matter here.
