How To Help

Come See What We Do. Then You'll Know Why You Should Help.

There's no better way to put it than the way director Toni Smith does:
"What's your passion? Come do that. Even if you come down just to see this place, I encourage it. We are helping your grandmother, your church members, your neighbors, the single mom barely making it — come see the look on their faces when they get things they didn't think they'd have because rent was so much of their check. Come see those tears of gratitude, then you'll see why you should help."

No Experience Needed. Just Show Up.

Close to 150 people from across the area volunteer at Crosslines throughout the year, ranging in ages and abilities — from once a year to once a day. Whether you can give an hour once or eight hours a week, we have a place for you. Even children are welcome to volunteer with a parent or an adult.

Working with Clients

Be the first friendly face a nervous first-time visitor sees. Help families select food, clothing, and household items with dignity.

Behind the Scenes

Sort donations. Stock shelves. Organize the thrift store. The work nobody sees is just as vital as the work everyone does.

Special Projects

From putting together Easter baskets for clients' kids to wrapping Christmas presents to staffing  fundraisers, we need help with special projects.

Community Events

Organize a food drive at your church, school, or workplace. Participate in Stamp Out Hunger in May. Help us show up for our neighbors in creative ways.
