We are proud to partner with CROSS Services because we see the difference they make in the Maple Grove area every day. From helping families put food on the table to offering support during unexpected seasons of need, their work shows up in real, tangible ways.
Where Compassion Meets Action
Thriving communities don’t happen by accident. They are built when neighbors look out for one another, especially during life’s most challenging moments. Here in our community, CROSS Services plays a vital role in making that care visible and accessible, connecting individuals and families with practical support, meaningful connections, and opportunities to give back.
Supporting CROSS Services isn’t just an act of generosity. It’s an investment in the strength and resilience of the place we call home.
Meeting Real Needs Every Week
Each week, hundreds of our neighbors turn to CROSS Services for food, financial assistance, children’s programming, and guidance when unexpected challenges arise. These are families, seniors, and individuals seeking stability, and they find it through a network rooted in compassion.
Volunteers welcome each visitor with warmth. Local businesses and schools donate essential goods. Faith communities and civic clubs keep shelves stocked and spirits lifted. Together, these collective efforts create a safety net that supports not only those receiving help, but the entire community.
A Community United Through Purpose
Beyond its day-to-day programs, CROSS Services brings the community together through events that combine connection with impact. From Pickle with Purpose to Empty Bowls and Tailgate Tee-Off to a local community prayer breakfast, these gatherings remind us that giving can be both joyful and meaningful.
Each event strengthens relationships while supporting essential services, proving that when neighbors come together, meaningful and positive changes follow.
Amplifying Impact Through Minnesota FoodShare
Generosity across our community shines even brighter during the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign. During this time, food and monetary donations are matched, stretching every dollar further and ensuring families have access to nutritious food well beyond the campaign itself.
Whether it’s a financial gift or donated food each contribution is multiplied through collective action making a tangible difference close to home.
Sustaining Long-Term Change
The impact of CROSS Services grows through neighbors who walk alongside its work. Monthly donors provide reliable support, sponsors help fund key programs, and major and planned gifts allow services to expand in response to evolving community needs and increased food insecurity.
These commitments are more than charitable acts; they are long-term investments in the health, vitality, and future of our community.
Building a Stronger Community Together
Much of CROSS Services’ work happens quietly, but its impact is felt every day. Families remain housed, seniors stay connected, and children have access to nutritious food. Each act of generosity, large or small, strengthens the community as a whole.
Whether you choose to volunteer your time, donate food, or offer financial support, there is a place for everyone to get involved. Supporting CROSS Services affirms a simple truth: when compassion is shared locally, it creates a stronger, more vibrant place for everyone to call home.
