Review for CROSSROADS OF MICHIGAN, Detroit, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a volunteer at Crossroads for many years. I have the privilege of seeing clients weekly to assist with food, clothing, ID, transportation costs and many other services.
Before Obama Care we were often the only organization that helped with medications
and hospital social workers made sure their patients had our number so we could assist them.

Identification is something most of us take for granted but for those who never had ID trying
to get ID post 911 can be a very frustrating experience. They need birth certificates and other forms of ID to get ID! We help them thru the maize and pay for their birth certificates and ID if they have no means to pay for it themselves.

We have a Parenting program for young parents and their children and assist not only with education but also diapers and formula. We also have a Crossroads Employment Office for those ready and able to work where they receive assistance with job leads and resume's
and bus tickets to get those interviews and jobs.

Those we serve are very grateful for our help. One gentleman was so thankful for the food,
and services we provided he thanked God right there for sending him to me that day. I will never forget that for those with so little we are a lifeline for them.
