Mission
Crossroads of Pella is community supported, first call source of help and encouragement for area residents.
​
History
Crossroads of Pella’s origin story is powerful-it was created to meet a very real need during a time of crisis in 1983 when people weren’t reaching out to traditional sources of help. By stepping in and offering services at no cost, including counseling, it became a lifeline for those who might otherwise have struggled in silence. The fact that it also helped birth other independent organizations is a testament to its lasting influence and the strength of the community’s response to need.
Currently, Crossroads is helping more people than ever. This success is due to the many who trust and receive our services and those who make it possible.
​
Funding
Crossroads is funded through tax deductible contributions from people like you. Our support comes from caring individuals who realize the need for the unique services we provide. Contributions to Crossroads may be sent to:
