Haiti Relief Effort    

The Crossings and its ministries (Adrenaline, FLOOD, Live Love) and One Heart for Women and Children have partnered with over eighty businesses and schools in the community to collect needed supplies for the relief effort in Haiti. 

Few can do a lot, a lot can do a little…but when a lot do a little, it equals a lot!  

So we encourage you to join in and be a part of salvaging, sustaining, and encouraging lives who continue to face incredible obstacles in their struggle to survive and rebuild.
