Where we’ve been fighting hunger and empowering hope in the Seymour and Tri-County community since 1989. For over three decades, we have dedicated ourselves to standing beside families, individuals, and neighbors who find themselves in moments of need. We believe in providing more than just food; we offer encouragement, compassion, and a beacon of hope for a brighter tomorrow, guided faithfully by the enduring message of Lamentations 3:21-23 NLT, which reminds us of God’s mercies that are new every morning.
At CROSS, our core mission is simple yet profound: to ensure no one in our community goes to bed hungry. Hunger does not discriminate, and we understand the challenges families face when unexpected hardships such as job loss, illness, or rising costs of living make it difficult to keep food on the table. We are dedicated to offering compassionate support that goes far beyond providing meals.
Our comprehensive programs are carefully designed to address immediate food needs while also fostering a deep sense of dignity, belonging, and community. We believe that when people feel valued and supported, they are better able to overcome challenges and rebuild their lives. By nourishing both the body and the spirit, we create an environment of stability and encouragement that inspires hope for a stronger future.
The impact of our work is best told by those we serve. Every story we hear and every testimony we receive reminds us why this mission matters so deeply. We are humbled by the trust placed in us and the heartfelt gratitude shared by families who once felt alone but discovered comfort through CROSS.
We are committed to making a tangible and lasting difference. Our key programs focus on providing not only essential food but also resources that build resilience:
Providing immediate relief to individuals and families facing food insecurity. From pantry staples to fresh produce, we ensure households have nutritious meals to help them through difficult times.
Offering resources, guidance, and connections to further assist those in need. We believe in walking alongside families, helping them find stability and strength.
Engaging the community to work together in the fight against hunger. Volunteers are the backbone of CROSS, and their dedication allows us to serve more families with care and compassion.
every donation, and every hour volunteered brings us closer to a community where everyone has access to nutritious food and a sense of belonging. Your support is crucial in helping us continue our vital work. When you give your time, talents, or resources, you are directly touching the lives of neighbors in Seymour and beyond, reminding them they are not forgotten and never alone.
We invite you to stand with us in this mission. Together, we can fight hunger, restore dignity, and empower hope for generations to come.
