CrossWalk Center needs a volunteer or a team of volunteers to help prepare a daily hot meal for the residents of our halfway houses. We are blessed to receive food donations each week, and with the help of volunteer house chefs, we can make the most of those gifts. The 24 men living at our halfway houses are just beginning their transition back into society after incarceration. As they are adjusting to their new job, new home, new friends, and new lives, preparing a hot, healthy meal can become a priority that slips through the cracks.
Our house chefs bless our residents with a home-cooked meal each day after work. It is our hope that individuals or teams could come into our halfway houses and prepare a meal from the donations we have already received. We don't require any professional experience, we just need willing hands and a servant's heart. Our homes are equipped with fully stocked residential kitchens, so you won't need to use your own cookware. For your convenience, volunteers can come during the day to prepare the food, leaving it in the warmer or the fridge until dinner.More opportunities with CROSSWALK CENTER

Mission Statement
CrossWalk Center's mission is to serve the Kingdom of God by unconditionally welcoming, serving and coaching returning citizens, giving them hope and a future. CrossWalk Center’s vision is that not one citizen will return to a life of incarceration due to a lack of access to coaching, mentoring, community support, love and a transformed life through God and Jesus Christ, His Son
Description
CrossWalk Center Houston’s first integrated reentry hub of social services and faith-based ministries that will exist to serve a greater number of returning citizens and their families in an undisbursed more efficient and cohesive manner. CrossWalk Center is the region’s preeminent systematic reentry resources network and physically centralized hub, where businesses, governments, social service providers, and diverse faith-based communities, churches and para-church ministries across all sectors, collaborate, cooperate, share best practices and serve unconditionally, for the sole purpose of successfully reintegrating returning citizens, and their families back into our neighborhoods and communities. We serve as navigators for sustainable reentry, not just focusing on handing out information pamphlets, but connecting the individual and family to people and resources that will help them in their journey for as long it takes. CrossWalk Center’s premise is a healthy, holistic, wrap-around services, ministry, and Christian community approach instead of a corrections approach. The CrossWalk Center model moves individuals to responsible self-management with coaching in community with a body of believers in order to change the ingrained mindset of automatic societal failure to a heart and outward expression of success through transformational discipleship and coaching.
