For a woman in recovery with a history of trauma and incarceration, the holidays can be far from merry and bright.
In 2018 our supporters donated 121 food boxes, 542 wish list gifts, 149 grocery gift cards, and two holiday celebrations to the women and children in our programs.
Here’s what one of our clients had to say about the support she’s received this holiday season:
“I just want to thank anyone who donated because of you I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will forever be grateful. And thank you to Crossroads for helping me in my journey and for being the best support! Words can’t express how very blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life. This is a wonderful holiday season and its thanks to this place! Happy holidays and thank you again!” – Katie
Thank you to all of our wonderful donors, community partners, and volunteers who’ve supported women and spread cheer this holiday season!
