Recently, the youth group, “Salt and Light Youth” from First Christian Church, kicked off their first ever Out of the Box for Homelessness Fundraiser specifically for the Community Crossroads Center. That evening the youth group assembled, decorated and stayed in their cardboard boxes for the night. By doing this, they were able to raise awareness of the homelessness that is present within our community.
Those involved in this fundraiser are making such a difference within the young community of Greenville by showing that there is not an age limit to when you can start helping others. This opens the path for people of every age to donate their time and efforts to creating a better life for those who are less fortunate. It is the selfless attitudes of the young individuals like this that will make the community stronger and will help the fight against homelessness in Greenville.
It is very humbling to see young folks so devoted to their community. The passion, interest and faith in these young individuals is refreshing in a time when the country needs some positivity in it. We are proud to announce that on June 5th, the Center was presented with a check for $5505.00 that was raised by this outstanding youth group in their Out of the Box for Homelessness Fundraiser. Thank you to all of those involved in this fundraiser for the Community Crossroads Shelter!
