|
Flint, MI- 1-18-2021
The staff and Board of Directors of Crossover Downtown Outreach Ministry are blessed to announce we have received a loving grant from the Child Welfare Society of Flint to provide new, warm coats for children in the Flint and Genesee County. We were surprised to receive more than we asked for, and are blessed to have even more coats available this year than usual. These coats are first come first serve, and are available to any child under 18 in need of a warm coat this winter. These coats are available NOW until March 31st, 2021, or until we run out. THESE FREE COATS FOR CHILDREN ARE AVAILABLE NOW! Children's sizes 2T-20 and a limited # of adult sizes for teens available now. Clients do NOT need a referral to receive services from Crossover at the moment. In order to receive a coat for the child(ren), a client must bring in:
The Child Welfare Society of Flint has supported our Winter Coat Program since 2015, and we are so grateful for their wonderful support throughout the years. Crossover’s Winter Coat program assists poverty-stricken children with the necessities of a warm new winter coat, gloves, and hats to insure they are warm and dry throughout the season! Thanks to this generous gift from the Child Welfare Society of Flint, more than 450 children will receive this gift of warmth and positive self-esteem. |

Building on our Legacy - 9/1/2017 Update
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!
Please check back for regular updates as we walk through this journey together.

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.
