Daniel Buller, Executive Director at Crossroads Mission Avenue, wants you to know how important the Hastings Give Day event is to us each year:  Donations from Hastings Give Day always come at a critical time of year, as the extreme heat of the Nebraska summer brings many men, women, and families to Crossroads for assistance.  And now, with housing costs and living expenses rising rapidly, more and more people are being driven into homeless shelters – people who call Central Nebraska home but are now homeless!  Crossroads is serving a record number of individuals – sadly, more than we’ve seen in our 40 year history.  Thanks to your generosity, our guests are getting the help they need, finding work and getting back on their feet at the Mission!  

Thank you Hastings for your generous support of Crossroads Mission Avenue! Over $21,000 was raised to support our operations at the Hastings Crossroads shelter during Give Hastings Day 2023! That means that YOU helped keep the lights on and the mission cool during the hot summer months. That means that YOU helped provide a safe shelter for our guests. That means that YOU helped put gas in our vehicles to transport our guests to their job interviews and Doctor appointments. Thank you Hastings for helping us help others!
