Who We Are

Cross Connection is a non-profit organization that began in 1988 as Carolina Cross Connection. For the past 35 years, we have invested in various locations throughout North Carolina by providing free home repairs to residents and connecting churches to these local communities. We have partnered with local social service agencies to get connected with people who may need assistance. Our staff plans the projects, works closely with both the homeowner and the volunteer group to make sure the project is completed in a timely manner and meeting all safety guidelines. The labor is provided free of charge and we try to assist as many people as time and funds allow.

WhEN DO WE SERVE

Our groups serve primarily during June and July. Select counties are serviced during our year round retreats- Caldwell & Watagua.
