Mission Statement
Crossroads Urban Center is a non-profit, grassroots organization that assists and organizes low income, disabled, and minority Utahns to meet basic survival needs and to address essential issues affecting the quality of life. Established in 1966, Crossroads is a multi-faith, community based project related to the Women's Division of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Metodist Church.
We are part of a tradition of service in the Salt Lake area that goes back 129 years. When Crossroads was formed in 1966, an emergency food pantry and thrift store quickly emerged as focal points for community involvement. Over the past 44 years, Crossroads has initiated and developed dozens of new community organizations to provide services not otherwise available in our community. We were instrumental in establishing the homeless shelters in Salt Lake, Utah's alternative payroll deduction giving program, and the statewide food bank.
