"40 Years of Caring" Challenge Grant

CROSSROADS NEEDS YOUR HELP! Crossroads is especially honored to be the recipient of an anonymous $40,000 challenge grant to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. The Crossroads challenge is to identify 40 people, who have never made a contribution to Crossroads greater than $250, to donate $1,000. Every $1000 Crossroads raises will be matched up to $40,000. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet new contributors, get the Crossroads' name into the public eye, and raise much needed resources to help the poor and forgotten in Detroit. The challenge grant is currently taking donations and will continue through the end of 2011. Each contribution made will be commemorated with a brass plaque to be displayed in the Crossroads Soup Kitchen.

For more information, or to schedule a visit and tour of Crossroads, please call 313.831.2787. To make a donation online please visit the "Make a Donation" page and choose your method of payment, make sure to include "Challenge Grant" in the description on all contributions.

"Crossroads has proudly served the poor in Detroit for the past 40 years. Completing this challenge grant will not only allow us to help more clients, but also give us the opportunity to make new friends." Mary Honsel, Executive Director
