Keep Giving During Hard Times
In these difficult economic times, it becomes even more important that we as a community make sure we’re taking care of those who are less fortunate. Even when the needs are many, when we all give, together we can meet the needs.
Crossroads Shelter’s greatest ongoing need is for monetary donations to support the costs of general operations. The continuing costs of things like staffing the shelter 7 days a week, 24-hours a day*, electric & utility bills, fire insurance, and more must first be met in order for the Shelter to remain open. Please remember to regularly send your donation to meet this critical need.
Donations can be mailed to: P.O. Box 117 Wytheville, VA 24382.
Donations of items such as food, paper products, household cleaning supplies, and toiletries, etc. can be dropped off at the Shelter between 7AM and 8PM.
For individuals or groups wishing to donate needed items, we encourage you to call ahead to ask what items we are currently in need of. We also welcome gift cards to local grocery stores and retailers.
Opportunities to help Crossroads Shelter include not only making much needed donations, but also volunteering. A few examples of volunteer opportunities for groups and individuals are: doing light office work, teaching Life Skills classes, doing maintenance and minor repair work, fundraising, preparing meals, and more! If you are interested in giving your time to help us help the homeless, call 276.228.9270.
Please note that due to our very limited storage space, we cannot accept donations of clothing.
