The Food Distribution Service of Crossroads
Community Services serves low-income persons who have
their own residence that live in the city of Dallas or
anyone who has experienced a catastrophic loss due to
fire, flood, theft, etc. Nutritional food is distributed
to low-income households in the Dallas area through the
Food Distribution Service at Crossroads Community Services. We are 5th
largest distributor for the North Texas Food Bank
Over 500 households--representing over 1200 men, women,
and children--are served from our Food Distribution

All contributions---both financial and product

Approximately 500 households are served from the Food

Because we buy in bulk at greatly reduced prices, cash
contributions are the most cost efficient donations. For example, we purchase food items from the North
Texas Food Bank at $.14 per pound.
