About Us

We believe that to be successful in addressing hunger, the community must come together. For 45 years, CROS Ministries has been a constant presence in the community, “standing in the gap” for our hungry neighbors in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. Our mission is to serve the hungry in Palm Beach and Martin Counties through community collaborations. We use the talents of an incredible volunteer force to help families and individuals from falling into the downward spiral of poverty, food insecurity, and, in many cases, homelessness. Our programs include: seven Community Food Pantries, six pantries that are located in community partner buildings and one mobile “pop-up” pantry distributing food in nine different locations; Gleaning, a produce recovery program partnering with local famers to recover food that would otherwise go to waste; The Caring Kitchen, a hot meal program; and Children's Programming. Our programs increase access to and availability of nutritious food for families and individuals who are out of food, unemployed, or when their wages, disability, and social security payments are insufficient to keep up with the increasing costs of inflation. All services are provided without regard to race, religion, national origin, marital status, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
