Notes from the nonprofit

More than financial assistance we request in-kind donations from Business / manufacturer / corporations. We can find new home for the donated materials.

We like to connect as many donors as possible with as many homeless and less fortunate. We focus on in-kind donation and donors working actively with recipients. This gives the "touch feeling", which helps expand our service.

Our Story

In 2015, a few friends started a volunteer-run nonprofit, Charity Crossing, to make a difference in our community and protect the environment. Every day, one of us helps someone in need. Today, over 400 volunteers actively support various initiatives that benefit the community and environment.

Our Mission

a) Execute Eco-friendly Initiatives that Benefit Communities.

b) Promote Volunteerism, Giving, and a Sense of Community.

c) Provide Opportunities for Volunteers to Develop Leadership & People Skills

In the past seven years, we have made a significant stride in our mission. We continue to expand our mission.

We use social media (Facebook) extensively to connect with donors. Two years ago we started off with 5 volunteers. We are now grown to 1,280 volunteers strong. We initially supported Wilmington, Delaware. Now we expanded our service to Newark and Dover Delaware and Elkton, Maryland.

Seven years ago, we started off with 5 volunteers. We are now grown to 2,400 volunteers strong. We initially supported Wilmington, Delaware. Now we expanded our service to 14 locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Seven years ago, we started off as a small organization. Today, we serve 1,000 families every month in the States of Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania combined. We give $500,000 worth of donations back to the community. In this process, we reduce waste filling up the landfill.

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
