For over two decades, Crossroads has been compassionately serving the residents of Dallas and surrounding communities by building long-term relationships with shoppers and community partners to alleviate food insecurity.
Community Impact
Feeding Texas reports that in the years between 2018 and 2020, 1 in 8 Texans were food insecure–that is, nearly four million of our fellow Texans had limited access to sufficient nutritious food and/or experienced hunger as a result of economic hardship.
Here in Dallas County, Feeding America estimates that 1 in 5 children are food insecure, and 28% of these children are ineligible for federal nutrition assistance.
Crossroads is meeting the urgent need for quality, nutritious food by distributing meal essentials to an average of 1,100 households every month. In 2023, we distributed approximately 12.5 million pounds of food –enough for 10,416,666 meals!
MORE THAN A FOOD PANTRY
We are first and foremost a food pantry. But we are also so much more than that. By compassionately serving individual households through food equity research, innovation, and distribution partnerships, Crossroads is revolutionizing food pantry services and building nutrition-stable communities.
