CROSSROADS

The mission of Crossroads Community Development Corporation (CCDC) is to transform people and communities.  We believe this will occur through holistic development of those who are committed to becoming self sufficient and will simultaneously strengthen the overall fabric of the community.
Current research and best practices in community development indicate transformation to self sufficiency is best achieved through relationship building in nurturing environments by people of faith committed to social justice and pathways out of poverty.  Our goal is to assist those willing and able to become the people God created them to be by working and supporting themselves with the fruits of that labor.  Therefore, access to life skill resources that CCDC will provide is critical for success, especially for those considered "hard to serve".
We envision our purpose as moving folks from "handout" (one way charity) to "hand-up" (development and capacity building) in order to benefit not only those served but also those serving them.  We seek to assist not by "doing for", but by "walking with" so that lasting relationships are formed and the greater community is strengthened.
