And You Can Take a Few Small Steps!
The next time you pass a homeless person on the street, smile and say Hello. You’d be surprised how rare and how welcome that is
Have some .5L bottles of water handy, and give one to a homeless person. Getting drinking water is one of the most challenging parts of a homeless person’s day.
Make and carry cards that have information about how to get help. Add 50¢ for a phone call.

Volunteers are the backbone of Crossroads’ service delivery. Every Monday through Friday we need volunteers in the kitchen to help with set-up and serving from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. We also need help in Crossroads’ mailroom (from 9:15-12:30 to distribute mail to the hundreds of folks for whom Crossroads is their legal address) and in our help office (flexible hours).
