Crossroads of Michigan www.CrossroadsOfMichigan.org Crossroads is a social service outreach agency with two locations in Detroit. Founded in 1971, Crossroads exists to support the community at large by providing emergency assistance, advocacy, and counseling to anyone in need. Acting in partnership with many other organizations in the metro area, Crossroads offers assistance in the form of a hand-up. We work with our clients to meet their immediate needs and help them assess their situations to lessen the likelihood of future problems. National School Lunch Program http://fns.usda.gov.cnd/lunch The National School Lunch Program was established in 1946. The federal government subsidizes the cost of school lunches for K-12 students in part or in total based on the level of family income. Families must apply and then be approved at which point their students become eligible for either lunch at no cost or a reduced price. Schools which meet a certain level of students qualifying for the free or reduced lunch may also apply to offer breakfast to those students who qualify, again at federal cost. The children who qualify for the lunch program will be qualified to receive a new coat. For The Seventh Generation www.ForTheSeventhGeneration.org Michigan’s foster care system can provide only the basics, but children who have suffered from neglect or abuse need so much more. The Seventh Generation makes the difference between helping foster children survive and helping them thrive.
