On Friday, May 3rd Crossroads staff and families, our generous supporters, corporate sponsors and elected officials reunited at Crossroads Family Shelter for the 3rd Annual Legislative Breakfast & Open House.
We heard moving remarks from former shelter residents, whose experiences reflected the achievements that are possible with support from the compassionate community at Crossroads. Speaker Robert DeLeo, Senator Anthony Petruccelli, and Councilor Sal LaMattina spoke about how the experiences of homeless families are prioritized at the State House and at City Hall. And, finally, we honored the remarkable investments from our corporate sponsors: Logan Communications, East Boston Savings Bank, Massachusetts Port Authority, and Suffolk Downs.
Crossroads is proud to report that you helped us to raise more than $25,000, closing our operating deficit and ensuring our doors remain open for the community’s most vulnerable and deserving families.
