Carthage Crosslines Ministry envisions a compassionate community where
faith-based values guide us to provide dignified access to life’s essentials.
History of Carthage Crosslines Ministry
Under the sponsorship of area churches, Carthage Crosslines Ministries opened its doors in September 1984. The goal to establish a central distribution point where food and clothing would be given to people in need.
Forty years later Crosslines continues to be a vital community resource providing food and clothing and has grown to include household items, diapers, hygiene products, and some financial assistance for rent and utilities to low-income, no-income, homeless, and those just needing a little extra help.

We rely heavily upon monetary donations, food drives, clothing, household goods, and hygiene products to meet the demand of fulfilling the requests of the community needs. As well as the countless volunteers that do anything from picking up donations, sorting donations, filling the food orders, sorting clothes, stocking shelves, assisting clients with selecting items from our thrift store (that is 100% free to our clients), to helping them to their car with the food and other items they receive.
