Outreach Support for Crossroads Urban Center The Outreach Board, in an effort to focus on hunger and homelessness, supports the efforts of Crossroads Urban Center.
About Crossroads Urban Center Crossroads Urban Center is a nonprofit, grassroots organization that assists and organizes Utahns with low incomes, those with disabilities, and people of color to meet basic survival needs and to address essential issues affecting quality of life. It was established in 1966 as a multi-faith community-based project. Crossroads Urban Center runs one of Utah's busiest emergency food pantries and a thrift store. They connect low-income people with other service agencies and facilitate holiday food programs. Crossroads Urban Center also supports political advocacy groups that bring together community members interested in working towards a system that aligns with the needs of the people. The groups include the Coalition of Religious Communities (CORC), Community Housing Advocacy Project (CHAP), and Powerful Moms Who Care (PMWC). These advocacy groups work with political leaders to make policies that are inclusive and support people in their fight to escape poverty.
