    Volunteer Testimonials

    I love the opportunity to help others less fortunate within our community, to contribute in a small way for such a worthy program.

    I am retired, so it is something for me to do and feel l am giving back to the community.

    Clients often express their appreciation for what CROSS does, and it makes it all worthwhile. When they leave saying “Have a nice day,” you know that they have felt welcomed and respected too.

    I am privileged to volunteer with an organization that is “the hands and feet of Christ”, serving the hungry and hurting of our area. I am thankful for CROSS!

    It’s meaningful to me that I’m able in some capacity to provide service to families in need and to give them a welcoming feeling as they courageously reach out for assistance.

    Everyone has their own personal reasons why they volunteer. “Giving back” probably hits the top of the list. Why do we want to give back? To much is given, much is expected so we give back where we can. A million small things in this world can make a difference. At CROSS, we see the small things that bring joy.

    The staff at CROSS is wonderful. I know that I am appreciated and feel like a part of the team!

    I enjoy working with the staff and especially with the clients. I like to do what I can to help people through some of the difficulties they are experiencing. Knowing where I can refer someone for help or just taking time to listen to someone can make such a difference. I appreciate the fact that I can be involved in an organization that really wants to help people according to their needs and not have to be concerned into which “box” or category they fit.

    I really enjoy the mission of CROSS and their impact to the service area. Whether helping clients directly or in the background doing tasks is very meaningful.

    I know I make a difference to the people I work with directly.

    I love knowing that I am volunteering for an organization that makes a difference in people’s lives.

    The CROSS people have become friends that helped us adjust when we moved to MN 5 years ago. It gave us many acquaintances with smiling faces.

    I get the feeling that what I do matters and the program is important for health and happiness of others.

    It’s meaningful to me that I’m actively giving in my own community and teaching my child the importance of giving as well.
