 A Busy Time at Crossroads Mission!
I am so honored to present this newsletter to you,
our supporters! Crossroads Mission is officially
celebrating its 50th year of operations. We have
been busy celebrating by raising funds to build
the new Family Shelter and Career Center. In
March, we held our very first banquet fund raiser.

M.Ed., LISAC
Executive Director for Our Partners. Staff members, volunteers, and
everyone involved with the event were energized
by the outpouring of the community. The financial
support, encouraging words, and the numbers of
people attending reminded me of how Crossroads
belongs to this community! Thank you Yuma!
As you read the articles, you’ll understand how
busy we have been. May 9 was another huge
event for us and the National Association of Letter
Carriers (NALC) of the US Postal Office. The
NALC graciously gave Crossroads the Help Stamp
Out Hunger in Yuma campaign this year. This
one-day event provided Crossroads with 27,000
pounds of non-perishable food. Every summer we
struggle to provide meals to hungry people. We
are so thankful to be provided this opportunity.
The dedicated letter carriers, NALC officials,
the Postmaster, the assistant Postmaster but most
importantly those folks who heard our appeal and
put food in bags by their mail boxes, made this
event the most successful in Yuma Post Office
History. As a matter of fact, it’s the largest food
drive in Crossroads’ history. A special thanks to
Bob Carey, Mail Carrier, for his work in organizing
the event for us! Bless all of you.
Mother’s Day didn’t find us idle either! Ruben
Dominguez, The Gentleman Tenor, donated his
special vocal talent and humor in a performance
for mothers at Post Auditorium. Many supporters
and families gathered for the event. The silent

auction had many collectibles, treasurers, antiques,
and fun gifts for all genders and ages. This event
was made possible by our friend Lori Hauk. Lori
entered a contest about career makeovers and she
won $5000 for the charity of her choice. Fox 9,
KECY, took that one step further and paid for
the auditorium for the event. With advertising,
ticket sales, and lots of other promotions we were
delighted to provide a quality event featuring
Ruben’s beautiful tenor voice singing several opera
selections along with some golden crooner tunes.
We thank the many, many sponsors for this event
and a special thanks to ABC5-KECY, American
Dream Edition, and El Sol Travel who provided
a $900 travel package to Catalina Island. Folks
commented on how this type of entertainment
should be offered more often to the Yuma
community! Hmm…
In the midst of all of the events, our important
work continues. We continue to offer services to
the homeless and the addicted as well as the poor
and needy of our county. For the past two years
we have been conducting a small capital campaign
to renovate our kitchen. I’m happy to announce
the project started and we will be announcing a
grand opening some time in the near future.
Finally, we have had many supporters who have
done some outstanding things to support the
Mission since the last newsletter. Generations
Church, Beta Sigma Xi Zeta Club, Southwest
Performing Arts and the Gila Mountain United
Methodist Church quilters as well as many others.
Thank you! Please remember that when you
donate to Crossroads, you are an important part of
a ministry that changes lives. May God continue
to richly bless you and your families!
Until next time….

 What an affair it was! Ruben Dominguez proved to
be a crowd favorite when after
almost two hours of
singing, he received a
standing ovation and
requests for an encore.
He, of course, pleased his
audience with one more opera
song this past Mother’s Day at Post
Auditorium. It was an afternoon to
remember! Ruben sang legendary songs in English,
Spanish, and Italian - a mix of cultures that was reflective
of our community and our event.
It was all possible because of Lori Houk. She submitted
an essay about her need for a career makeover to Extreme
Makeover Local Edition from ABC5. She won the contest
and received $5,000 for her makeover, and $5,000 for
the charity of her choice. Lori chose Crossroads and
the money was immediately put to work in hopes of
multiplying it through this special event.
ABC5 was instrumental in making it happen. They ran
lots of publicity and helped in all the planning. Because
of them we even had a trip giveaway to Catalina Island,
sponsored by El Sol Travel.
Our Advisory Council and many volunteers were very
involved as well. With their help we had a very successful
silent auction and several door prizes were given.
We are exited about engaging in new fundraising
opportunities to raise funds towards a new family shelter.
We are honored and thankful to have been chosen by Lori
and to be blessed with the support of our community. We
are also very grateful to Ruben for donating his talent and
his time to make this a true family affair!

here has not been easy. Besides the obvious financial
challenges, the logistics of a major kitchen remodel at a
place that serves almost 400 meals per day, everyday of
the year, was overwhelming at times.
Part of the problem was being able to maintain the
kitchen services without the kitchen. We searched and
searched and thanks to Yuma Proving Ground we found
our solution: a field kitchen that is temporarily parked
outside the dining room. Meals are being cooked in it
and our guests are able to take their plates inside to the

Reflecting on
Relationships
R ecently an
anonymous
donor walked into
Crossroads and
blessed the Mission
Bill Donnelly
Development with a significant
Director cash donation. This
(928) 210-4525
individual had no
desire for personal recognition
of any kind, only to decisively
announce their deepest belief that
God’s work was in progress here.
Leaving as quickly as arriving, our
staff was inspired by this donor’s
desire to transact this gift of love
of our Lord towards the work done
at Crossroads Mission. What an
honor to be blessed by someone so
dedicated to a relationship
with God.
For many of us an itemized
financial statement of stewardship
helps us to set goals and reflect on
faith in action. Often tax dollars
turned into stewardship dollars
can be multiplied by pledge
documents, donation receipts, and
estate planning. God is looking at
the heart. For “where your heart
is, there lies your treasure”. Your
relationship with God encompasses
all. Help Us Help Them!
Hydration is a MUST in this
W e can’t do anything about the weather but we can
do things to help the homeless.
If you are a Yuma native you know that if you’re out
in the heat is absolutely necessary to stay hydrated
- it’s a matter of life or death. In fact, it’s not
uncommon to see people carrying water bottles
everywhere they go. Have you ever stopped to
think how the homeless stay hydrated?
This summer, as in summers past, we take
bottles of water to the homeless along the
river. Our river outreach is structured to help
those homeless people who might not be
aware of the services offered by the Mission.
We want to get them to come to the Mission
so we can begin case management
services.
With a simple bottle of water, we’re able
to make a connection to someone who
needs help. In the past, we have received
complaints about why the homeless can’t
drink water from the faucet since bottled
water is so expensive. The homeless do
drink water from the faucet and anywhere
they can get it --sometimes from not so
healthy places.
In addition to our river outreach, cool water
is always available at our shelters to refill
empty water bottles or other containers.
We do not want anyone to die because of
dehydration.

This event celebrated our 50th year of operations and was a
major fund raiser for the new family shelter. By the end of
the evening, friends of the Mission pledged and gave cash
totalling $118,000! The Crossroads Mission Family Shelter
has been open since 1994. This facility was built in 1948
and is at capacity every day of the year. Each night we have

“I t got bad enough for me to fight back

and that’s how I ended up in probation,”
says Heather about her abusive marriage. For
three years the violence grew greater and her
addiction to drugs became stronger. That is why
Heather came to Crossroads Mission.
Using drugs was nothing new to Heather, now
34. “I started using at age 13 - everything:

meth, alcohol, coke. I’m the third generation

Heather Berry, Claudia Lugo, Yvonne Parker, and
Audra Kissel (not pictured) shared their testimonies on
how the Family Shelter was once a part of their lives
In 2004, Heather completed the Recovery
program and went to live at the Family Shelter.
There she was able to be reunited with her two
sons, now 14 and 17. Heather, her sons, and her
mother lived at the shelter for almost 9 months.
“Everything is different today! I have Jesus in
my life. He has filled my heart so much. I feel
love in a way I didn’t use to. I love myself more
because of Him. He’s restored my relationships
with my mother and my children - they believe
in my words again! My future is bright. I know
in my heart I can do anything. I can accomplish
my dreams and make them into reality!”
Heather now works at Crossroads Mission
as the Finance Coordinator. She is attending
college and working towards a degree in
Business Management. Her accomplishments
even earned her a tuition scolarship from
Soroptimist International. Her future is bright!
