About Us

CROSSROADS at Park Place, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a joint endeavor of Park Place United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, and Glenbrook United Methodist Church. It is administered by a volunteer board of directors, representing a broad range of social service, medical, ministerial, and non-profit experience.

Currently located at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, CROSSROADS opened its doors to homeless persons in October 2001 and has since then been providing services to promote their health, hygiene and dignity.

Along with meeting the physical needs of our clients, CROSSROADS AT PARK PLACE affirms that all people should enjoy dignity and self-worth, recognizing that this must also include our neighbors who have no physical address.  The homeless population represents a community of worth—one that is worthy of our respect and compassion. By providing our services, CROSSROADS allows our neighbors to care for themselves, to be informed and proactive. 

Finally, CROSSROADS provides a setting in which all our neighbors can experience dignity by sharing in a call to care for one another.  This is realized in the ways volunteers and clients work together to bring about change for the whole community.
