Do
Good
As we are moving into a season of gratitude and giving, we are inviting you into an opportunity for you to support your local and global neighbors!
We’re joining together to accomplish this in two practical ways…
Buying products from our neighbors
Bringing food items for our neighbors
Across Middle Tennessee, we have identified specific local partners that are meeting specific local food needs. We can help our neighbors flourish by bringing food items that meet their needs and address the food insecurity that many in our community face every day.
Locally, food insecurity can be caused by a lack of proximity to grocery stores, the rising cost of housing, and low wages.
Starting Sunday, November 5 you can pick up a food list and a bag at your Cross Point campus, then head to the grocery store to pick up the items on the list and return your bag on Sunday, November 12 or 19.
FOOD LISTS
This year, there’s an opportunity to love your neighbor through the provision of food items, you’ll find your campus specific shopping list below. There’s also a specific list for our Online Campus so that everyone who calls Cross Point home can play their part in addressing food insecurity

We recognize our neighbors are made in the image of a creative God, and therefore, are creators themselves and have something to offer us through their small businesses. We can buy products from them and support their businesses, that have global ties.
Buy in-person at all physical Cross Point campuses on November 5 and 12.
Buy Online from our global/local partner the Aloe Family.
The Aloe Family supports entrepreneurs in Mexico and Nashville. These entrepreneurs are seeking self-sufficiency and a better life for their families by creating and selling their products like candles, screen-printed tees, scrunchies, and soap.
