Cheri Thomas:

"Volunteering at Crossroads has been a wonderful blessing in my life. The interaction with both staff and clients has taught me more than I could possibly give. Having worked as a Social Worker it is a joy to be working with an organization that gives so freely of its time, resources, and energies."



Social Service Unit

Our Social Services Unit offers counseling and support to assist clients to come to terms with their problems and discover solutions at the most basic level possible.

• In some cases, a counselor may make referrals to other service organizations that are specifically geared to the needs of particular clients.

• In other instances, Crossroads serves an advocacy function, offering to the disadvantaged a handle on a social system that, largely, has forgotten them.

• In addition to other services, Crossroads is able to provide material aid as necessary, such as food, transportation, clothing and the costs of identification and prescriptions.

Soup Kitchen

• Each Sunday afternoon, Crossroads serves a hot meal to all who come. Teams from parishes and service organizations throughout the metro Detroit area host the Soup Kitchen.

Crossroads Employment Office

• A job is an income, a sense of self-worth, and a commitment to the community; a job is the opportunity many seek. Crossroads Employment Office assists those seeking full-time work. Potential employers and job openings are canvassed in our Resource Room and applicants are screened and offered "job readiness" preparation prior to job interviews.

Crossroads Job Club

• Crossroads' Job Club is a biweekly coming together of job seekers. Over lunch these clients hear speakers talk on employment skills and work ethics, and they provide each other with support and encouragement.
