Crosslines Community Outreach

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2026 Annual Meeting at North Point Church! It was wonderful to see so many of the people who support Crosslines gathered together to celebrate what we've accomplished this past year.

From opening our new Safe to Sleep women's shelter to expanding our Math and Reading Buddy Programs and continuing to serve more neighbors through our Food Pantry, so much has been made possible by the generosity and dedication of our community.

We also recognized staff members who exemplify Crosslines' values, thanked outgoing board members for their years of service, and welcomed new members to our Board of Directors. Our CEO, Jaimie Trussell, shared about the challenges and opportunities ahead as we continue growing and strengthening our work.

We're grateful for what God has made possible through our donors, volunteers, partner churches and businesses, staff, and community partners. Thank you for being part of this work and helping us care for our neighbors across the Ozarks!

A special thank you to North Point Church for hosting us and to our event sponsors for helping make the day possible!

Crosslines Community Outreach will be closed Thursday, October 29, for our Annual Meeting as we reflect on a year of impact and recognize the people who help move our neighbors from scarcity toward stability.

Safe to Sleep will operate normally, and all program operations will resume on Friday, October 30.

Thank you for your understanding! 💙

Every evening at Safe to Sleep, we rely on volunteers from our community to help provide supper for the women staying at the shelter.

This past Sunday, the team from Mills Foundations came out to serve dinner! Having groups like theirs step in helps us make sure our guests have a warm meal each night, along with a safe place to rest.

A big thank you to Mills Foundations and all the churches, businesses, and groups who regularly help us provide meals!

If your church, business, or group would like to serve supper at Safe to Sleep, we'd love to have you join us!

Happy Boss's Day to our CEO, Jaimie Greene Trussell!

Why does she do it? "God told me to."

God first placed a calling on Jaimie's heart to feed hungry children back in 2012. After following that calling through other opportunities, she came to believe God was leading her to Crosslines. Here's how she described it:

"Three people called about this position, and I said, 'I'm not a CEO. I'm a cheerleader, that's it.' And the third person said, 'Did you pray about this?' ... So I prayed about it, and it was so obvious."

Over the past several years, Jaimie has helped guide Crosslines through a season of significant growth and change. She helped bring our programs together under one roof and has strengthened the way our teams work together. Her leadership has helped shape Crosslines into the organization it is today.

We're grateful for Jaimie's leadership, her heart for our community, and her willingness to follow where God leads. Thank you, Jaimie, for the care, wisdom, and dedication you bring to Crosslines every day!

Thank you to 417 Magazine and Jessica Luraas Safe to Sleep for sharing the Safe to Sleep story!
