Crossroads of Michigan is a social services agency that provides counseling services, transportation assistance, food and clothing to people in need in the Detroit area. Its biggest outreach program is a soup kitchen that serves between 700 and 1,000 people every Sunday. Twice a year Christ Church Grosse Pointe is responsible for cooking and serving those meals at the Crossroads office on 92 E. Forest Street near the Wayne State campus.

We buy all the supplies. Volunteers on the morning shift cook a huge pot of chili, put together hundreds of sandwiches and get everything ready. The afternoon shift serves the meal and cleans up afterwards. About 35 people are involved.

For many years Christ Church Grosse Pointe has provided financial support for Crossroads and its mission. The Soup Kitchen enables many of us to get involved directly. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a team and act on our Christian values. We are always looking for new volunteers.
