About Us
Crossroads Community Ministries is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Crossroads was born nearly 40 years ago when a St. Luke's Episcopal Church member handed a homeless man a sandwich. From that moment of compassion, St. Luke's operated the Soup Kitchen until 1996 when Crossroads became its own, separate, non-sectarian nonprofit organization.
Our Mission: Empowering people who are homeless to move to economic and personal self sufficiency.
