Upcoming Activities

Picture1

CBlocal is a group within Crossbridge that organizes our local outreach opportunities.

All of our activities will be in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area and will focus on loving people who are in need- whether they are homeless, foster children, lonely senior citizens, children & adults with special needs, families with financial hardships, or anyone going through a difficult time. Our goal is to embody what it says in John 13:35:

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

If you are looking for more ways to love people, here are some other organiztions where you can volunteer your time.

Their mission is to give a hand UP to those in need by providing clothing, toiletries, food and more at no cost to those financially in need. They respond to basic human needs, promote dignity and hope. Their goal is also to provide social activities and holiday events to children in need.

Their goal is to also spread kindness. Sometimes it is not always about the necessities it is taking the time to listen to someone or to do something for them to make them feel special. Sometimes, something as simple as a new outfit can put a smile on one’s face and make them feel beautiful.

She Has A Name (SHAN) is an outreach & in-reach ministry to ladies in Camden who are in bondage to various addictions and who turn to prostitution to support their habits. The SHAN team meets the ladies right where they are and offers them unconditional love, hope and healing and practically through no cost detox and long-term Christian discipleship homes where the healing can begin.

Foster Love is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of motivated young adults and former foster youth. Their vision is to improve the lives of children in foster care, who often find themselves forgotten and neglected by the public. Their foundation has allowed them to provide thousands of foster youth across the country with new bicycles, college supplies, and sweet cases so that children do not have to travel from home to home with their belongings in a trash bag. Crossbridge supports Foster Love through a yearly sweet cases drive and coordinates with the Gloucester & Salem County chapters.
