  1. Expand the staff of Crossroads to better serve students by hiring a coordinator for the Campus Cupboard.
  2. Continue our priorities of feeding students in body, mind, soul through the Campus Cupboard and other Crossroads ministries
  3. Repair and update the HVAC system in the Crossroads building

A Day in the Life of Crossroads

Help us fill the 2025 calendar—one day at a time.

Each day of the year is available for sponsorship, with the donation amount matching its calendar number. For example:

  • January 1 = $1
  • March 17 = $76
  • December 31 = $365

Choose a date that’s meaningful to you—like a birthday or anniversary—or simply pick one based on your giving level. You can sponsor one or multiple days.

Once you choose your date(s), pledge that amount. You can give right away or anytime during the year. If more than one person selects the same date, that’s okay—we welcome multiple sponsors per day.

Want to be recognized? Let us know and we’ll thank you on our social media.
