Backpack Program

CrossNet partners with area churches, local business and the community to hand out backpacks and supplies to those who need them at the beginning of each school year. We offer a variety of other back to school resources at this event. To learn more about donating to this event or volunteer opportunities, please email corrinel@elancocross.org.

Winter Coat Program

The Winter Coat Program is every October on Columbus Day (date varies). Families can come in and choose a new or gently used coat and a set of hat and gloves for the cold winter ahead.

For more information on the 2024 Winter Coat Program, please contact corrine@elancocross.org or click here.

SPECIAL NOTE:  We collect winter coats and items all year long! After Christmas is a great time to get some deals on coats for kids, teens, or adults! Items can be dropped off anytime during office hours. Thank you for partnering with us to make sure everyone in ELANCO is warm!

Christmas Gift Program

The Christmas Gift Program is an opportunity for our community to come together to make sure needs are met, families are empowered and the love of Jesus Christ is shared at Christmas time. 

CrossNet works closely with the ELANCO School District, local organizations, businesses, and individuals in order to spread the hope & joy of Christ at Christmas.
