Crossroads Partner Relations VISTA - Year 1

Crossroads’ mission and vision is to build nutrition-stable communities in Dallas, Ellis, and Navarro counties, serving residents who meet the federal poverty guidelines as no- or low-income. Crossroads uses a collaborative approach to revolutionize the food distribution model through food systems research, and our on-site Community Market client-centered services, and community partner engagement for residents of Dallas County who meet the federal poverty guidelines as no- or low-income. Our facility houses the North Texas Food Banks SNAP team, which allows clients who come out to our Community Market to inquire, apply or re-certify for SNAP benefits before completing their shopping experience with us. For individuals who consistently come to the Community Market over three consecutive months, we introduce them to our From Food to Finances program, which marries our transition from food crisis to food stabilization model with food navigation, food resourcing, and financial coaching. The VISTA member will serve to support Crossroads’ effort to maintain sustainability and growth through fund development, community outreach and increase our understanding of our partners’ need to help us build out programming to support increasing our feeding network’s impact.
