Email Submission to: commissioners@grantcountywa,gov See Attached t- F CEN JUN 1? 20 For 40 years, Crossroads Resource Center, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization has provided pregnancy support and parenting education for pregnant women and their families in Grant County. Since its inception, it has been a safe place where women can get assistance during a time fitted with uncertainty. In a caring, compassionate, and nonjudgementaL atmosphere, Crossroads walks with clients through pregnancy and provides parenting programs that offer education for new parents including toots, tips, and a time to gain confidence. Crossroads also has a Baby Boutique, a store for first-time moms enrolled in the "Earn White You Learn" parenting program. Participants usually meet one-on-one with a parenting counselor and earn `points' which turn into `Baby Bucks' in the boutique. Here they Learn to be wise shoppers for baby clothing, supplies, diapers, furniture, handmade quilts, etc. In 2019 new heights were reached as Crossroads went medical with its OB Ultrasound Machine. Currently, the FREE and confidential services provided are the following: pregnancy testing, Limited OB Ultrasound confirmation, options counseling, nursing staff, childbirth and parenting classes, community referrals, post -abortion help, baby clothing, diapers, Lactation counseling, STI information and testing, abstinence education, post-partum assistance, Last but not Least, a 24-hour crisis Line. In 2013, a satellite office was added in Ephrata. Since then, the office has outgrown its space and has been Looking for a good Location. We now have an opportunity to move to a Larger space that needs renovation to allow us to advance our mission. The 2,000-square- foot center would include a Lobby, examination room, ADA bathroom, consultation room, Baby Boutique, sorting room, staff offices, nurses station, and storage area. We will be partnering with His Helping Hands to offer a complete resource center in the heart of Grant County that will serve rural residents. Our services are greatly needed, utilized, and impact Lives. As a non-profit, we rely on charitable donations and would greatly benefit from this ARPA grant. It would be difficult for us to raise the funds and complete the renovation in a timely fashion. Like most nonprofits, our organization was affected by COVID-1 9. We saw an increase in our services and Less revenue and ability to raise funds. This year alone, we have served 340 clients and close to 20,000 since 2008. Our mission is to provide evidence -based medical and educational services along with practical resources for Columbia Basin families in a respectful and caring environment. Our organization)s needs fall under Nonprofits and Social Services in the Final Rule. The funding would assist Grant County citizens and allow Crossroads to elevate client services in a center that meets their needs. Thank you for considering our grant.
