Transforming Life in St. Joseph for the Most Vulnerable

Every person has within them the ability to reach another person.

The Crossing Outreach Urban Mission Campus meets people where they are and guides them to meet their potential.

Give Help

The Crossing is fully dependent on the generosity and service of others.

Our calling is to ask ourselves each day, “If I can change just one person’s life, what would that mean to that person?”

There are a number of ways to get involved and be the change someone in our community needs.

How can I serve?

Get Help

The Crossing Outreach is a ministry dedicated to helping individuals cross the threshold to a new life.

Programs focus on providing housing and changed lives for men re-entering the community from incarceration, distributing fresh food rescued from the local grocery stores and Second Harvest Food Bank, and operating a Thrift Store to provide clothing items to the homeless and revenue to support the Nutrition Center.
