Our History

Crossover Outreach is a faith based, interdenominational, non-profit agency located in downtown Flint near the corner of Court St. and Grand Traverse. We were founded by three Flint churches in 1991: First Presbyterian, St. Paul's Episcopal, and Court Street United Methodist, who were joined in 2001 by Every Nation Church (formally Riverside Tabernacle) as an ongoing sponsor church. These churches united to provide a convenient, centrally located, service center to help meet the needs of the less fortunate and offer programs designed to help persons become more self-sufficient... to "cross over" to a better life.

Crossover's goal is to help families, children, and the homeless with free emergency food, clothing, personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, household items (such as dishes, pots and pans, bedding, infant items, and personal care products), and other miscellaneous items. Clients who come into Crossover are screened and referred by area agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services; Love, INC; the YWCA Women's Shelter; the Wellness/AIDS agency; plus many other churches and agencies in the area. In addition, we offer programs to improve the quality of life and self-sufficiency of clients via youth programs and on-the-job experience.
​
Crossover receives its funding from individual contributions, churches, civic organizations, businesses, and grants. Food comes from donations by churches and individuals, and from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. In-kind donations of clothing and housewares are generously made by individuals, churches, civic organizations, businesses and more!
