As we wrap up this series celebrating 20 years of The Crossing, there’s one thing we want to say above all else: ✨ Thank You ✨

To our clients — thank you for trusting us with your stories, your challenges, and your growth. It is an honor to walk alongside you.

To our volunteers — thank you for showing up with open hearts, willing hands, and a deep commitment to serving families with compassion and care.

To our donors — thank you for your generosity that makes this work possible day in and day out. Your support creates real, lasting impact.

To our community — thank you for believing in this mission and standing with us as we serve families together.

These past 20 years are not just our story — they are yours too.

Because of you, families have been supported.
Because of you, parents have grown in confidence.
Because of you, children have been cared for and valued.

And we’re just getting started.

Here’s to the lives that have been changed…
and the many more still to come. 💛

Huge thank you to the amazing students from Roncalli High School who spent time volunteering at The Crossing! 💙

A group of 12 students came with their teacher and jumped right in. After getting a tour (thank you, Lori!), seven students headed downstairs to package diapers, while the other five rolled up their sleeves to assemble our Steak and Egg assorted flavor packs.

Because of your willingness to serve, more families will receive the support they need. We are grateful for your energy, teamwork, and heart for the community. You made a real difference today!

💜 Inside the Clinic:
Let’s Talk About the Period of PURPLE Crying 💜

Ever feel like a baby is crying… and nothing works?
You’re not doing anything wrong.

There’s actually a stage many babies go through called the Period of PURPLE Crying—and it’s completely normal.

🟣 What to know:
✨ Crying can increase in the first few weeks
✨ It may last for hours (even when baby is fed & changed)
✨ It often peaks around 2 months, then improves

🛠️ Tools that can help:
✔️ Take turns with a trusted support person
✔️ Step away for a few minutes if you feel overwhelmed
✔️ Place baby safely on their back in a crib and breathe

💬 Most important: You are not alone in this.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure what’s normal, we’re here to talk it through and support you 💜

Not all waiting is visible.

Some seasons look fine on the outside…
but inside you’re waiting for healing.

Healing in a relationship.
Healing from past trauma.
Healing in your body.
Healing in your heart.

Spring doesn’t rush. It unfolds.

If you’re in a season of healing, we would love to pray for you. You don’t have to share details — just comment “prayer” or send us a message.

You don’t have to wait alone. 💛

As we celebrate 20 years of The Crossing, we’re reflecting on the principles that keep us focused and moving forward, like our vision statement: ✨ A Healthy Family for Every Child ✨

At the heart of our mission is a simple belief —
every child deserves a safe, stable, loving home.

We invest in parents.
We teach skills.
We model healthy communication.
We walk alongside families as they grow.

Because when parents are supported, children flourish.
When relationships are strengthened, homes become healthier.
And when families thrive, entire communities are changed.

For 20 years, this vision has guided our programs, our classes, and our
conversations.
All for one purpose:

💛 A healthy family for every child.

🌸 Happy First Day of Spring! 🌸
Spring is a season of new beginnings, growth, and hope. Just as the world around us blooms, we see new opportunities to serve families, support our community, and make a difference every day. Here’s to fresh starts and the blessings that come with them! 💛

Winter can feel long when you’re waiting for provision.

Waiting to hear back about a job.
Waiting for financial stability.
Waiting for an open door.

The ground may look frozen, but roots are still growing beneath the surface.

If you’re in a season of waiting for provision, comment “spring” or send us a message. Our team will be praying for breakthrough, peace, and steady hope while you wait.

Sometimes the waiting is where strength quietly grows.

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
At The Crossing, we know it’s not luck that makes our mission possible—it’s the blessing of our volunteers, staff, and donors who give so generously of their time, talent, and resources. Today, we celebrate YOU! 💛

03/16/2026

As we celebrate 20 years of The Crossing, we’re sharing the principles that have guided every conversation, every class, and every relationship like:✨ Lead With Love ✨

Leading with love doesn’t mean lowering standards.
It doesn’t mean avoiding truth.

It means delivering truth with compassion.
It means setting boundaries with care.
It means believing the best about someone — even when they don’t believe it about themselves.

Love builds trust.
Love creates safety.
Love makes room for growth.

For 20 years, love has been the undercurrent of everything we do — because when people feel genuinely cared for, they are far more open to learning, healing, and flourishing.

At The Crossing, we don’t just serve families.

We love them.

💛

❄️ Weather Update ❄️

It looks like Blizzard Elsa decided to “let it snow” a little too much today! Because of the weather, The Crossing will be closed tomorrow, March 16th.

Stay home, stay warm, and stay safe. We’ll see you soon once things thaw out! ☃️❄️

Twenty years. Thousands of families. One mission that continues to grow. ❤️

Yesterday, Belinda and Lori had a great conversation with Lee Douglas on Be My Guest, discussing The Crossing and what 20 years of serving this community have meant. From the early days to the families we walk alongside today, it was a chance to reflect on the journey, share a few stories, and talk about what’s ahead.

We’re so grateful for a community that has supported this mission for two decades. Because of you, parents have found encouragement, babies have been welcomed with hope, and families have discovered they are not alone.

Take a few minutes to listen to the conversation here:
