Building on our Legacy - 5/24/2017 Update
After 26 years of serving those less fortunate from our humble abode, we are embarking upon the building of a new Crossover. Our current location is well known as a beacon of hope to those struggling to provide food, clothing and more for themselves and their families. To that end, we are building the new Crossover right next door! The houses to our west were obtained and on May 24th, 2017, they were demolished to make way for our new building! We look forward to making this building project as much about mission as everything we do! We will remain open and serving our neighbors in need from our current building throughout construction. Once our new facility is complete, we'll move the contents and begin serving those less fortunate with the least possible disruption!

Items in renovated Baker College dorm rooms will be given to families in need
FLINT (WJRT) - (07/01/16) - Renovations are underway at Baker College in Flint, but it's a construction project unlike others on campus.
Construction crews are clearing out what's left inside a dorm building on the Baker College campus.
Baker East is undergoing extensive renovations. Thirty-six suites are being gutted, but furniture and appliances that could have gone in the dump won't this time.
Crossover Downtown Outreach Ministry and Genesee County Habitat for Humanity will be taking all of the items to give the families they serve. There are 36 sets of bunk beds, desks, dressers, stoves and refrigerators.
Truckload by truckload, the items have been disappearing from the lot. The last of it should be gone in the next few days.
The college plans to do the same thing for any future projects on campus.
