Founded in 1977, the mission of Christians Reaching Out to Society, Inc. is to enable people of all faiths to work together to identify unmet needs of the community and collaborate with community groups in creating solutions to meet those needs..

C.R.O.S. is supported by churches, synagogues, community groups, and private individuals throughout Palm Beach County, all of whom share this common goal.

There are many opportunities available to reach out to those in need in Palm Beach County through C.R.O.S. Ministries: office help, data entry, mentoring, food pick-up and delivery, as well as recruiting potential food donors to name a few.

George W. Jenkins founded Publix with the spirit of giving in mind. He was once asked, “If you hadn’t given away so much, how much do you think you would be worth today?”

His response, without hesitation: “Probably nothing.”

CROS Walk

The CROS Walk is our annual fund raising event, held on the second Sunday in October.
