We are happy to announce that Crossroads Louisiana recently received grant awards from three local foundations that help support our Art4All and Work4All projects.
Great news! The Louisiana Department of Transportation approved our grant application for a new 8 passenger bus, which will be used to provide daily door-to-door transportation service for group home residents.
Crossroads Louisiana has teamed up with web designer and developer, Jean-Paul Gisclair, to create a valuable online resource that both showcases Crossroads current efforts as well as encourages others to become more involved.
