From the Crossnore website: Crossnore Communities for Children is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 child welfare organization supporting children and families in crisis from North Carolina. They offer a continuum of services for children at risk of entering the child welfare system, already part of the system, or aging out. Crossnore provides homes for children in foster care (both in community homes and on residential campuses).
Additional services include outpatient and school-based therapy services, and transitional living services for older youth. They offer on-site medical care and trauma-informed clinical services. A wide variety of extra-curricular and enrichment activities makes Crossnore a unique place for children to live, learn and prosper. Their children come from all over North Carolina and range in age from 1-21. They have a special focus on keeping sibling groups together.
Please pack items in boxes or sturdy bags. Thank you for supporting this project.
