This is What Neighbors Do

Crosslines Carthage has been a place of food, clothing, and dignity for Eastern Jasper County since 1984. We're here for the neighbor who's struggling this month — and the neighbor who wants to do something about it.

There's a place for you here.

PROVIDING HOPE AND WELL- BEING TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH
NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND ESSENTIAL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS.

40 Years of Showing Up

In 1984, a handful of local churches decided that faith without action wasn't enough. They pooled their resources to help neighbors in need — starting in a small building on Lyon Street.

Four decades later, Crosslines has grown into a lifeline for Eastern Jasper County. We've expanded our building twice to keep up with the need. And right now, we're expanding again — because the need never stops.

Crosslines Carthage has served Eastern Jasper County for 40 years — providing nutritious food, essential household items, and real hope to men, women, children, veterans, and people with disabilities.
