HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear Friends, 


As the year draws to a close we'd like to thank all of our supporters who are helping us celebrate the holiday season.  Our staff and residents have been delighted by your generosity and appreciate all the gifts, food, and volunteer hours you've contributed not only this month but throughout 2011.

 

If you haven't done so already, please note that it's not too late to make a tax-deductible donation before the end of the year.  As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, charitable contributions to Cross Roads House are fully tax-deductible.

 

We count on financial contributions from our donors to provide critical operating support throughout the year.  

Two thirds of all our revenue comes from individuals and businesses in our community like you!  

 

Your donation helps us deliver the most basic human needs to our residents experiencing homelessness:  a clean bed, a hot shower, a warm nutritious meal, an address to receive mail, access to laundry, phone, and a computer.  These basics, along with supportive services like medical and dental care, and assistance from our case managers to help our residents find jobs and housing, are being delivered year round at Cross Roads House.

 

Please join us in breaking the cycle of homelessness by making a contribution today.  Gifts at all levels are appreciated and every dollar makes a difference.

 

Donations can be made  online or by mailing a check to Cross Roads House, 600 Lafayette Road, Portsmouth, NH  03801.  Thank you! 

 

We wish you a safe, healthy and happy New Year!
