Crossroads helping Atlanta’s homeless for 40 years


From Atlanta-

There is a castle on Peachtree Street, one with big red doors and an iron gate surrounding it. When you walk from the building’s parking lot, red and brown brick columns lead you inside of this church where Crossroads Community Ministry operates. The brick sign reads “Saint Luke’s Episcopal Church.” More important than its exterior is what’s happening on the inside of these brick walls for the less fortunate in Atlanta. Crossroads Ministries is a 40- year-old nonprofit organization, soup kitchen and shelter for the homeless.

Beyond those basics, Crossroads also offers legal help and case management, programs to help individuals apply for Social Security Disability applications, a free mail-room so that people can apply for jobs, a program to provide free Marta cards, housing for the disabled, housing for women and children, rehabilitation programs and hot meals throughout the week.
