In 1978, a group of United Methodist Churches located in Palm Beach County came together to form Christians Reaching Out to Society Inc. (CROS Ministries). They realized that together they could make a bigger difference assisting the community’s unmet needs. Overtime, CROS Ministries became both ecumenical and interfaith, partnering with other denominations, faiths, community groups, and local nonprofit agencies. Today, our mission is to serve the hungry in Palm Beach and Martin Counties through community collaborations. Services include distributing food at eight food pantries in 15 different locations, recovering fresh produce at local farms through our Gleaning program, serving and delivering hot meals through our Caring Kitchen program, and children’s programming. All services are provided without regard to race, religion, national origin, marital status, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
