The 2008 Downtown Christmas Celebration

For the first time the Downtown Community Christmas event was combined with Crossroads Mission's Christmas celebration and the result was a huge successful event!  We served hundreds of people a delicious turkey meal with all of its trimmings, desserts, and drinks.  There were presents, snow-cones, cotton candy, jumpers, and crafts for the kids, and our entire merchandise from the 2nd Chance thrift store was on site to be given away to all who attended.

Thank you to all of our donors and friends, volunteers and staff!  None of this would be possible without your help.  Here is a video and pictures of some event highlights.  We hope you enjoy them!

We served delicious turkey


There were many desserts to choose from


But, the Santa booth was one of the most popular!

We had record crowds


Most of our tables were full all the time


The children got gifts, snow-cones and cotton candy

There was a craft booth for even more fun

& face painting

And 3 jumpers!

There were happy children all around!


And some happy adults that got free clothes for all their family

Many took blankets to help with the winter cold


We also had fresh produce available

But mostly, it was happy and thankful people...


Who shared Christmas with us.

 


3 Days of Thanksgiving!
What a blessing it was!  Thank you to all of the volunteers and donors that made it possible.
Here are some pictures for you to remember the event, or just in case you missed it.  November 25, 26, & 27, 2008.


We started all three days in prayer circle with all of our wonderful volunteers.
 

As soon as prayer was over there were people waiting at the food line.

The first day we served Mexican food and roast beef on day two.

We had delicious menudo!
 

The tamales were a big hit, too.

There were many people at our tables.

This year we set up a full size thrift store and we gave it all away free of charge.
 

The Humane Society was on site giving shots to pets free of charge.

There was also a veteran "stand down" servicing all homeless veterans.

Among the other services available were the free haircuts.

We had to move everything inside on day 2 because of the rain.
 

Our bike racks were full from all the guests that rode them to Crossroads.

The chapel was turned into a temporary dining hall.

The dining room was also full.  Somehow, we were able to serve everyone!

A guest of Crossroads and volunteers peeled potatoes on day 2.
 

The thrift store was moved inside.  It was crowded but it worked.
 

On Thanksgiving day we served a traditional turkey dinner.

The weather was nice again and we were even able to have live music outside.

There were many children who enjoyed the food and especially the desserts.
 

We had complete families celebrating Thanksgiving with us.

And many of our homeless friends joined us for all 3 days of Thanksgiving.

 

 

 


Our Annual Birthday Party for the Homeless

What a great time we had during the Birthday Party for the Homeless on August 30th, 2008!  We had cake, ice cream, root beer floats, presents for all, and delicious cheeseburgers.  The shelter and the chapel were decorated with balloons, streamers and colorful signs, and we even had two piñatas for the kids and the kids at heart!

We thank all of our donors who made this wonderful celebration possible!  Some of our guests said that this was their very first birthday party and they were certainly making the most of it.

We invite you to read MYRA'S BLOG to read more about that day.  Here are some pictures of the event - enjoy!

 


The 5th Annual Soup-er Celebration of Hope was a great success!

February 22, 2008

This year's Soup-er Celebration of Hope was a great success thanks to all of our donors and participants.  We had many agencies represented, and some even provided their services during the event.


For us, this event is especially important because it provides a means to our clients, guests, and friends to learn more about the services available to them throughout our community. Over the years, we have learned that in order for an individual or family to achieve success and life transformation, there needs to be a partnering with caring individuals, churches, organizations, and companies that are able to provide for all their service needs.
 

We hope you enjoy seeing these snapshots of the event:


People started lining up for the delicious hot-dogs, chili & soup meal

Many had their belongings with them

It was a beautiful day for an outside meal

There were clothes the people could get free

There were also blankets

Some even brought their pets to get exams and vaccines

One of our rooms was turned into a salon/barbershop!

Many had not had a cut in months

It was a one of the busiest areas of the celebration!

LOOK WHAT A DIFFERENCE A HAIR-CUT MAKES!!!
