Organize a drive in your community for food, clothing, or hygiene items

Make the next party at your work or congregation feel more meaningful by collecting food, used or new clothing, diapers, formula, soap, shampoo, tampons or other basic necessities we give away at our food pantries or thrift store.  If you are interested in collecting one more more basic necessities we would be delighted to share ideas.  We are only able to help with some items because of small drives like these.

To get ideas for a fun and meaningful drive please contact our Community Involvement Coordinator, Erika Gee, by email at erika@crossroadsurbancenter.org or by phone at 801-364-7765.

Volunteer with FACE Hunger and Homelessness

The Faith and Advocacy Coalition to End Hunger and Homelessness, FACE Hunger and Homelessness, brings people together to learn about the causes of hunger and homelessness and to support policies that would reduce those forms of unnecessary suffering.  We can use volunteers to help with organizing events, developing materials for educating the public about hunger and homelessness and with contacting elected officials and candidates about issues that cause people to experience hunger and homelessness.

To learn how you can volunteer with this important project contact the FACE Hunger and Homelessness Director, Bill Tibbitts by email at bill@crossroadsurbancenter.org or call 801-364-7765 ex 107.
