Summary
Crossroads Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals who find themselves at a "crossroads" in their lives. Our goal is to help them make that turn that will bring them to a personal encounter with God, and to help them make changes that will result in better lives.
We offer life-changing, individualized programs leading to stable employment and independent living. With the help of caring donors like yourself, we are able to reach out to the chemically dependent, the needy, and the homeless. In addition to Yuma County we also serve La Paz, Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Santa Cruz, Pinal, & Gila Counties of Arizona.
Our programs are offered without regard to race, color, national origin, religious background, age, sex or handicap (alternative accommodations available upon request).
Our funding depends on the contributions of concerned individuals and organizations. All contributions are tax-deductible. We also partner with the State of Arizona, Cenpatico of Arizona, Yuma Community Food Bank and FEMA.
