Backpack Buddy Ministry
Crossroads is working with Weddington Hills and Carl A Furr elementary schools to help feed hungry families.

Please help fill backpacks to send home with children for the weekend by donating non-perishable food. There are lists of needed items in the Missions Corner. Donations can be dropped off in the Missions Corner or the NexGen Lobby.
