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.
