Your voice matters. Your vote matters.

Voting is one of the most important ways to help shape the future of our communities. From housing and food security to education and public services, elected leaders' decisions affect our neighbors every day.

Take time to learn about the issues, make a plan to vote, and participate in the democratic process.

Every voice deserves to be heard.

Nine months. Thousands of neighbors served. Countless moments of hope.

From January through September 2026, Cross-Lines made an incredible impact in Wyandotte County:

14,767 Community Market visits
42,103 meals served
896 street outreach contacts
36 neighbors housed
More than $130,550 in financial assistance

Behind every number is a neighbor, a family, or a story of resilience. And behind every service is a community that cares.

James knows what it means to face homelessness, loss, and uncertainty. In this video, shared at our 2026 Gala for Hope, James reflects on his experience and the relationships he built with the Cross-Lines team as he worked toward greater stability.
His story shows why consistent, compassionate outreach matters. Sometimes change begins simply by showing up, listening, building trust, and making sure someone knows they have a community willing to walk alongside them.

At Cross-Lines Community Outreach, we help our neighbors throughout Wyandotte County access food, housing stabilization, street outreach, and other resources that can create a path forward.

We are grateful to James for trusting us with his story and to the donors, volunteers, staff, and community partners who make this work possible.

What an incredible night. 💚

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, guests, donors, volunteers, and community partners, this year’s Gala for Hope raised $204,225 to support the work of Cross-Lines Community Outreach!

Throughout the evening, we were reminded why this work matters so deeply. James’s story (see the video in a separate post and on our website!) was a powerful example of what can happen when someone is met with compassion, support, and a community willing to stand beside them.

The support in the room was extraordinary. From every ticket purchased and raffle chance bought to every auction bid and Gift of Giving donation, you showed just how much our community cares about helping neighbors facing hunger, housing instability, and homelessness.

To our sponsors, thank you for investing in this mission. To everyone who attended, gave, bid, volunteered, and cheered us on, thank you for making Gala for Hope such a meaningful and successful evening.

$204,225 raised. One incredible community. So much hope made possible. We are so grateful! 🙏
