Donations Benefit CrossRoads Mission

Another successful Done In a Day (DIAD) project has been completed! DIADs are JLCR’s smaller community service projects that are done one day out of every month from September through May.

During November’s DIAD, JLCR members donated an abundance of items to CrossRoads Mission in Cedar Rapids including toilet paper, diapers, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and formula. According to Missy Dennis, DIAD committee chair and coordinator of the project, “enough was donated to fill my van!”

CrossRoads Mission is a non-profit, neighborhood ecumenical Christian mission that supports members of the Cedar Rapids community and their families. Donations made to CrossRoads Mission are used for flood relief, emergency support of those in poverty, and those newly impoverished and homeless due to the epic flood of 2008 and the recession.

Thanks to all who contributed!

And be sure to keep an eye out for JLCR members at the National Czech and Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML) as we help them fill online orders throughout the month of December.
