Free 4 All - An exciting new outreach initiative of Crossroads Christian Communications, set to show God's loves in practical ways to those in need of a little help. The plan is to celebrate in 12 cities across Canada over the next 3 years! Local area churches, in cooperation with The Crossroads Family of Ministries, (who produce the daily 100 Huntley Street) are leading these events. Thousands of volunteers from the participating cities, along with corporate participation, will ensure the success of these celebrations that will personally touch the hearts of over 120,000 people in loving, tangible ways.

Habitat For Humanity - Halifax-Dartmouth - In 1976, Habitat For Humanity International (HFHI) was founded by Millard and Linda Fuller. This organization strives to end poverty housing worldwide. An ecumenical Christian housing ministry, Habitat For Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build simple, decent houses. The houses are sold to partner families at no profit, with zero-interest loans. Since the establishment of the Habitat for Humanity Halifax-Dartmouth Affiliate in 1992, this sub-branch has 15 Habitat Homes in the Halifax Regional Municipality, which house over 60 men, women and children. Their biggest accomplishment to date was hosting the Ed Schreyer Work Project in 1999, when 10 houses were built in 5 days with the help of over 1000 volunteers from around the world. In 2000, the Province of Nova Scotia presented Habitat for Humanity Halifax-Dartmouth with the Nova Scotia Home Award.

Sharing Compassion - In 1952, evangelist Rev. Everett Swanson preached in Korea. Upon learning of the desperate situation of the Korean War orphans, Swanson established a program which made it possible for caring Christians to sponsor needy children for a few dollars a month. Swanson's efforts lead to Compassion, an organization that is child-focused, Christ-centred, and church-based. Today, Compassion still works to release children from poverty, in Jesus' name and help them become fulfilled Christian adults.

Missions Efforts: Crossroads makes great efforts to serve our world, through means that make an actual tangible difference in peoples' lives. Among these efforts are: The Lazarus Project which rescues young homeless boys from the streets of Zambia and provides them with a loving home life. The Project educates and trains these boys in a trade. They develop character and a spiritual transformation, which helps them to become polite, mature young men and helps to ensure that they will have a full and blessed life; The rehabilitation and reintegration efforts of the people of South Sudan; The Emergency Response & Development Fund of Crossroads Christian Communications Inc. has responded to death, destruction, and psychological trauma caused by natural disaster, war, and poverty in the developing countries of the world; and much more.

The Breast Cancer Site: 43,300 women die each year from breast cancer - that is someone's mother, sister, aunt, niece, grandmother, granddaughter, cousin, and friend, who loses their life every 12 minutes. Every click at The Breast Cancer Site helps fund a mammogram, making early detection possible for a woman in need. Early detection is the key to survival of breast cancer, but the site is not getting enough clicks to meet their quota for being able to donate at least one free mammogram per day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site & click on "donating a mammogram" for free. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily clicks to donate a mammogram, in exchange for advertising. Please visit their site and let others know as well. Join the Chain of Hope, and help save lives.

Neuroblastoma is responsible for 8-10% of all childhood cancers.
