CitySquare

CitySquare’s mission is to fight the causes and effects of poverty through service, advocacy, and friendship. With a comprehensive continuum of programs working together, CitySquare provides meaningful opportunities for those looking to change the trajectory of their lives. Working hand in hand with our neighbors, we provide services around our four pillars: Hunger, Health, Housing, and Hope.

Hunger
The CitySquare Food Pantry, food recovery program and youth mobile meal programs for after school and summer remove barriers to accessing healthy food.

Health
CitySquare health and wellness programs work in both a clinic setting and in our community and continuum of programs. We help our neighbors access primary care providers or additional resources to improve their health.

Housing
CitySquare is the largest nonprofit provider of affordable housing in the City of Dallas with permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and rapid rehousing units.

Hope
From workforce development, legal representation and services for youth aging out of foster care, we are focused on building hope in our community.

Last year over 58,000 neighbors and community members were impacted by CitySquare’s work. The key to our success is to continue to strategically integrate a range of financial, educational, employment, and income support services, in one place and deliver them through personalized, one-on-one coaching.

CitySquare is committed to equality, inclusiveness, and recognition that fighting poverty involves bringing together the entire community in the heart of our city.

Crossroads Community Services

Crossroads Community Services is a food bank/distributor and food pantry located in the southern sector of Dallas. In partnership with North Texas Food Bank, we serve Dallas, Ellis and Navarro Counties and distribute food to more than 110 Partner Agencies and Community Distribution Partners, as well as through a food pantry at our own facility. Crossroads meets basic needs with urgency, while honoring the dignity of everyone we serve. Our mission is to nourish our communityâs low-income families and individuals by providing nutritious food and supportive education.We truly appreciate your interest in Crossroads Community Services at this historic time! The coronavirus pandemic and economic shutdown have destabilized nearly every aspect of our lives and made it much more difficult for people to fulfill basic needs. Those we generally serve – children, low-income seniors, people with disabilities and chronic health conditions, and families and individuals struggling economically – are already at extremely high risk due to hunger and food-insecurity. Before COVID-19, Crossroads projected we would distribute enough groceries to prepare 6 million meals. The Covid-19 crises will probably require us to do much more. Daily, we now serve five times more people at our pantry than we did before Covid-19, and 72% are new to Crossroads. Demand is surging throughout the rest of our food network as well. No one is unaffected! Our priority at Crossroads remainsâ”to feed every family and individual who comes for groceries to meet the need! Donations can be made at https://ccsdallas.org/give/Crossroads has moved its indoor pantry to a drive-through pantry in our front parking lot where clients stay protected in their vehicles. Crossroads Community Services is located at: 4500 South Cockrell Hill Road; Dallas, Texas 75236.
