About Crossroads Community Services

Location:

4500 S. Cockrell Hill Road, Dallas, TX 75236, US

Mission Statement

Crossroads Community Services exists to use a collaborative approach to revolutionize the pantry distribution model through food equity research, client-centered services, and community partner engagement.

Description

Crossroads Community Services nourishes people and powers change by providing nutritious groceries and supportive education to those in need in Dallas.

In 2005 CCS became the first agency in the nation to match the amount of food aid provided from each food group with an individual’s age, gender, and activity level as recommended by the USDA’s MyPyramid. In 2010 CCS was named the Model Agency of the Year by the North Texas Food Bank for innovation and volume of food delivered. Last year, over 15,000 individuals benefited from 2.7 million pounds of nutritious food used to prepare 2.3 million healthy meals.

Crossroads provides low-income families with enough groceries to prepare 21 nutrient-and-calorie-balanced meals per person on a monthly basis. CCS also provides education regarding nutrition, meal planning, and obesity prevention to our clients.
