About Crossroads Community Services
Continuing a tradition of service begun by St. Bartholomew’s Church in the early 20th century, Crossroads Community Services Inc. was created in 1989 as an independent nonprofit organization to support our neighbors in need.
Our work has never been more vital than it is today. Working together joyfully to end hunger and homelessness is our passion. On good days, it fills us with gratitude. On challenging days, it gives us strength and hope.
