3. Overview of
Cross-lines
Mission Statement:
Provide people affected by poverty with basic services and
opportunities that encourage self-confidence and self-
sufficiency.
Volunteering
Without volunteers, there would be no Cross-Lines. We are
dependent on the generosity of individuals with their time
and talent.
Need is the only prerequisite
