About Crossroads Cares
For more than 40 years, Crossroads Cares has had the privilege of being a visible expression of God’s love to millions. As a faith-based humanitarian relief and development organization, we have invested $48.8 million globally, responding to humanitarian crises with both short-term ‘emergency response’ and long-term ‘development projects’. Through the gifts of our partners, we have been able to give hope to the most vulnerable, provide food and water to the hungry, rescue and care for the neglected, and provide emergency aid when natural disasters strike. God cares for people through people, and by collaborating with more than 60+ on-site Ministries and local NGOs, we have built trusted partnerships throughout the world. Together, with a servant's heart, we fulfill the Bible’s directive to love our neighbour.

Food + Clean Water
Crossroads Cares provides Food and Clean Water in Kenya, Uganda, Haiti, and Israel
As many as 811 million people worldwide face food insecurity, malnutrition, and hunger due to a lack of resources. Extreme hunger can be a person who has run out of food or has gone an entire day or more without eating. Crossroads Cares is fighting world hunger by helping people access feeding programs and sustainable initiatives. We believe access to clean drinking water is essential for life. We help provide bio-sand filters to families and refurbish old wells along with digging new ones for communities. We’ve helped more than 200,000 people have access to clean water. Together, we are saving lives with these precious resources.
The Issues
- Access to Food and Clean Water
- Water-borne diseases or death from polluted water sources
- Illnesses, starvation, and stunted growth due to lack of food

- Reliable water source and/or drought
- Increased vulnerability due to lack of food
- Extreme poverty due to the lack of vital resources
