Community Supermarket Cleanup

StarkFresh is tackling the causes of hunger by creating realistic pathways out of poverty. In preparation of opening a Community Supermarket space, we need help getting the building ready! If you're willing to get your hands dirty and help with some demo/cleanup, we need your help. Please bring boots and gloves with you, and if you have construction or demolition experience that's wonderful but not necessary. Looking for about 20-25 people. If you have a large group and this specific date doesn't work, please email laura.prengaman@uwstark.org and we can assist with setting up a different date!

Honor our Veterans

There’s an old adage that says to truly understand someone, you have to walk in his shoes. We have found that veterans who volunteer for hospice bring a unique perspective that helps them relate to hospice patients who are also veterans. Join the Crossroads Hospice team and visit with veterans patients to provide Vet to Vet Support. We want to recognize the sacrifices that many of our patients have made in serving their country. In doing so, we have created a Veterans Recognition Program to acknowledge our Veteran patients by providing certificates and honorary presentations. Many of these ceremonies take place around Veterans Day throughout Northeast Ohio. If you are a veteran and would enjoy visiting with a hospice patient, please contact us to today at 330-899-9100 and request to speak with a Volunteer Manager. All volunteers must: Attend a volunteer training Participate in health screening Complete a background check (18 and older)
