The Fundraising Committee at Crossroads for Women is made up of dedicated community volunteers from who care deeply about making a positive impact in fellow women’s lives.
Each woman has her own story that brought her to volunteer at Crossroads. Many of the committee members have been volunteering for several years, some have graduate from Crossroads programs, and others work at different recovery agencies in the community.
Dalilah Naranjo, Community Engagement Coordinator at Crossroads for Women, has served as the staff committee chair for the last four years. “The Fundraising Committee here at Crossroads is INVALUABLE,” says Dalilah. “Working with this committee has showcased to me what dedication and commitment is really all about.”

Dalilah says, “You can tell they believe in what we do. In so many ways, this group has truly taught me what it is to be selfless. They consistently remind me that there are people out there who believe in our mission enough to STAY involved.”
In honor of National Volunteer Week, we want to say THANK YOU to this amazing group of volunteers. We couldn’t do this life-changing work without you! Please take a few minutes out of your day to learn more about each of these inspiring women.
