At Crossfire Ministries, every day tells a story worth sharing—of compassion, community, and faith in action. From major announcements and local partnerships to volunteer spotlights and heartfelt guest experiences, this is where we celebrate what happens when people come together to care for one another.
A Letter from 2536
In a deeply moving letter signed only as 2536, a mother shares the story of how her family survives — and even thrives — without any form of government assistance, thanks to the weekly support of Crossfire Ministries. With six mouths to feed and a limited income, she describes how access to Crossfire’s pantry, meals, and volunteer kindness allows her to pay utility bills, keep her home intact, and ensure her children never go hungry. Her testimony is a powerful reminder of the tangible difference your support makes in the lives of real families. This is more than a story of food — it’s a story of dignity, resilience, and grace.
Help Fill the Gap:
When federal food assistance falls short, local generosity fills the shelves. Crossfire Ministries is calling on individuals, churches, businesses, and neighborhood groups to step in and sponsor food purchases by the pallet. Every contribution—large or small—helps feed the 1,500 families we serve each week with essential groceries like canned goods, cereal, and fresh produce. With bulk buying power and your support, we can stretch every dollar and ensure no family in El Paso County faces an empty pantry. Let’s fill every shelf—and every heart—with hope.
