CROSS is a non-profit serving families and individuals living in Rogers, Maple Grove, Osseo, Champlin, Corcoran and Dayton. They provide food, clothing and other supportive services to those in temporary need and are supported by community donations. We partner with CROSS in several ways through periodic drives for non-perishable foods, school supplies or other items that are needed. We also partner with CROSS to provide Kidpacks to Birch Grove Elementary School. Although the Kidpack program is on hold during the pandemic, we look forward to continuing that partnership in the future. For more information on CROSS, visit their website HERE!

How you can help CROSS during the COVID-19 pandemic:


CROSS only keeps one month supply of non-perishable food. They will need a steady supply of more food if the stores continue to be emptied by the general public. CROSS is a community-supported organization and needs the community to help them continue to serve those in need. Here is what you can do: 

1. Donate non-perishable food and hygiene supplies: Drop off non-perishable foods and hygiene supplies at CROSS 12915 Weinand Circle in Rogers.
2. Donate financially: You can donate at their location or online HERE!
