My Nonprofit Reviews

Crossroads is there to help people with basic needs, whether it is helping people get birth certificates and picture IDs (you need a birth certificate and a social security card to get a picture ID and you need a picture ID to get a birth certificate and a social security card), emergency food, clothing, two $1.75 bus tickets for a doctor's appointment or a job interview, or a job lead, the interaction with the clients gives the clients a chance for someone to listen to them. The hands-on approach used by Crossroads volunteers lets the client know they are important.

A recent releasee from prison came by last week for help getting his Michigan picture ID. He had been frustrated since his release in May because he needed a birth certificate and Social Security card to get the ID and he needed a picture ID to get his birth certificate and Social Security card. His parole officer suggested he come to Crossroads for help navigating the system and he walked out from his visit with Crossroads with a smile and a plan that would allow him to get the ID.
