Lend a Helping Hand
Our dedicated volunteers are truly the heart and soul of CROSS. Without their compassion, commitment, and countless hours of service, our programs simply would not exist. We offer a wide variety of volunteer roles to suit different skills, interests, and schedules, ensuring every helping hand makes a significant and meaningful impact on the lives of others.
Check-In Assistant
Be the welcoming face of CROSS, greeting families with warmth and kindness as they arrive. You will assist with the check-in process, answer questions, and ensure every visitor has a smooth, dignified, and stress-free experience. Often, this first point of contact sets the tone for their entire visit, so your role is more impactful than you may imagine.
Pantry Helper
Assist with organizing, stocking, and distributing food items. From arranging shelves to preparing grocery bags, you play a direct role in making sure families have what they need. This position helps guarantee that our pantry remains orderly, efficient, and always ready to serve those in need.
Thrift Store Support
Help manage our thrift store, which not only provides affordable goods to the community but also generates essential funds for our programs. Sorting donations, assisting customers, or arranging displays are just a few ways you can lend a hand while supporting a cause that gives back in multiple ways.
Your time and willingness to serve truly transform lives. Many of our volunteers often say they receive just as much joy and fulfillment as they give. We are always eager to welcome new faces and invite you to become part of our CROSS family, where every effort counts and every volunteer matters.
Partner With CROSS
Powerful Ways to Partner with CROSS
Beyond volunteering, there are also powerful, long-lasting ways for individuals, businesses, and churches to partner with us and amplify our impact throughout the Seymour and Tri-County community.
Host A Food Drive
Rally your school, workplace, church, or neighborhood to collect non-perishable food items. This is an excellent way to bring people together for a shared purpose while directly meeting urgent needs. Contact us today to learn how we can help you set up a successful food drive at a local store, school, or community center. Every can, every box, and every item collected adds up to meals on the table for someone in need.

Are you a church, a local business, or an individual passionate about making a sustained difference? Financial contributions are absolutely critical for our programs, from purchasing fresh produce to providing much-needed utility assistance that keeps the lights and heat on for families. Visit our dedicated Donation Page to learn more about how your generosity directly fuels our mission, strengthens families, and creates a ripple effect of hope.

This critical act of service underpins all our efforts. By joining our team of caring and dedicated volunteers, you will not only meet practical needs but also experience firsthand the profound impact of giving back. Every hour you contribute adds value and touches lives in ways that go far beyond the moment.
