Anyone is welcome to come and receive assistance at Cross & Crown Mission. There are no zip code restrictions, so you don't need to live in a specific area to get help. The food pantry is open to all individuals and families.
You'll need to bring an ID for each person in your household that you'd like to claim. Any form of ID is acceptable.
Each individual or family can receive free groceries once every two weeks.
The food pantry provides canned goods, rice, beans, and frozen meats. They occasionally have dairy products and fresh fruit as well. On Mondays and Wednesdays, the donations coordinator picks up fresh fruits and vegetables along with bakery items like cookies, cakes, and donuts. A food box typically contains pasta, beans, applesauce, canned goods, crackers, snacks, and other items.
The baby room offers diapers, formula, clothing, and other items for babies and expecting mothers.
Starting at 8:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a sign-up list is placed outside for the first 40 families or individuals wanting food pantry assistance. Doors open to the public at 10:30 am. Volunteers and staff hold a prayer time from 10:00 to 10:30 am, so the doors won't open during that window.
Cross & Crown Mission offers free legal services through the Trinity Legal Clinic, thanks to Christian attorneys who volunteer their time. The clinic handles cases ranging from wrongful denial of jobs to immigration issues, minor criminal issues, and unfair housing practices. Legal appointments are available on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. Staff will let clients know their appointment details after an intake form is filled out on-site.
The mission also offers prayer counseling. Everyone who comes for assistance has the opportunity to sit down, talk, and pray with a prayer counselor. You're welcome to come for prayer on any day, not just days when you're picking up food.
Mentoring relationships are available to help individuals grow, with mentors offering physical, mental, and spiritual guidance.
The clothing store is open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. All clothing and household items in the store are 10 cents each. If you're not able to pay, staff are happy to talk with you about your situation and make sure you get what you need. No sign-up or ID is required to shop at the clothing store. You can visit the clothing store as often as you'd like.
