Mission & Focus Areas

Crossroads states its mission is to “use a collaborative approach to revolutionize the pantry distribution model through food equity research, client-centered services, and community partner engagement.” Its stated focus is serving the community with nutritious foods through innovation and integrity, while using research and client interaction to improve services and understand systemic causes of food insecurity.

The 2025 filing lists food assistance distribution as the purpose of its largest grants. The grantees’ stated missions illustrate the range of organizations receiving support: Dallas Bethlehem Center supports South Dallas/Fair Park families through education, health and wellness, and technology programs; Chocolate MINT Foundation provides services including a food pantry, senior meals, mentoring, financial literacy, and rental and utility assistance; and Masters Harvest describes its work as Christian-based discipleship, mentoring, social programs, and food distribution. Dallas Leadership Foundation says it develops leaders to transform communities, while Jubilee Park & Community Center describes a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization mission.

In filing year 2025, Crossroads reported 131 grants totaling $20,903,132. Grant amounts ranged from $5,513 to $1,501,931, with a median grant of $93,541.
