CrossRoads Church at Westfield provided two weeks’ worth of food for 19 families in Westfield this past week for the school winter break.
Families vary in number from four and 10 members, and though other helping agencies in the area provide food, these families run short of healthy and nutritious food to sustain them for the entire break.
As part of the church’s For Our Neighbor initiatives to care for the community, CrossRoads Church adopted its local neighborhood Washington Woods Elementary School providing help in areas that other groups don’t offer. During the fall, winter, and spring school breaks when students do not get food at school, CrossRoads provides food for the students and their families. CrossRoads also provides new athletic shoes in August each year for any of the students who need them.

CrossRoads provides a weekly Celebrate Recovery, free Zumba, free pet food and supplies, and will provide free repairs for over 40 homes in the area in June 2023.
