 A Resident Expresses "Thanks"
for Cross Roads House
Your support allows us to continue with our mission of assisting the homeless in our community. Read what one of our residents recently wrote about Cross Roads House.
"I can say that I honestly don't know what would've happened without the help of this shelter. You helped with so much and provided blankets for my grandchildren when it was cold. I believe the [Cross Roads House] staff and Families First do everything they can to provide the services available for local people. God bless you." -- June |

Thank you Merck employees!
A group of Merck employees from NH, ME, and VT recently gathered for a two day meeting in Portsmouth. Each employee was invited to bring an item from our wish list. The employees embraced this opportunity to give back and showed up armed with bags full of wonderful items like personal care products, sheets, and towels.
In addition to bringing in the wish list items, the employees watched our most recent anniversary video (also available on our website) and heard more about how their contributions would help the shelter residents.
Thanks again for all the generous donations!
