English Classes (Adults Ages 18 and Up)
This year, Crossroads collected and donated 200 bags of school supplies for students who attend elementary and middle schools in our community. Thanks to everyone who made this program a success! We look forward to supporting area students and their families in a variety of ways throughout the 2026-2027 school year.

On the 1st and 2nd Wednesdays of each month, Crossroads volunteers provide hot meals for those staying at the Loudoun County Homeless Shelter. You can help prepare a meal, serve at the shelter, or both! This is a hands-on mission that will make an impact on all who serve. Families, small groups and individuals are invited to volunteer.
Click here for details and to sign up. Together, we can extend Crossroads’ radical hospitality to those in need, transforming the world, one person, one family, one community at a time with the unconditional love of Jesus.
Each year, Crossroads partners with the Loudoun County Homeless Shelter to collect essential supplies for individuals and families. In the past, donations have included hygiene kits, coats, boots, sleeping bags, and pillows—items that provide warmth, comfort, and dignity to those facing homelessness.
Each Fall, we focus efforts on collecting something the shelter needs. Your contribution can make a real difference in someone’s life as the colder months approach.

Crossroads provides School Break Bundles for families living in Loudoun County. By donating a bag filled with snack, drink and meal items, you will be helping those students at risk of going without food during Spring Break.
Stay tuned for 2027 School Break Bundle details.

Inmate Support
In June of 2025, Crossroads began leading weekly classes for women housed at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. We expanded the program to men a year later.
Post-Incarceration Support
In August of 2026, Crossroads will introduce a new program for inmates in need who are exiting the Detention Center. This comes in the form of a re-entry backpack designed to guide, comfort and support those who are rebuilding their lives with nowhere to go and no one to lean on. Each backpack will contain items to wash up, make a call, have a meal and locate area resources.
If you would like to participate in this program, please feel free to visit our Amazon Wishlist or purchase one of the items below, with items brought or delivered to Crossroads by September 13, 2026. We thank you for your support of our incarcerated neighbors.

Give Thanks by Providing a Thanksgiving Bag
Each Thanksgiving, Crossroads works to spread joy and gratitude by providing Thanksgiving meal bags to families across Loudoun County. Stay tuned for details about the Thanksgiving 2026 program.
Contact Aimee Taylor at ataylor@crossroadsnova.org if you have any questions.
Every Thanksgiving, we hold the Ashburn Farm Thanksgiving Day 10K/5K/2K race. This tradition has been a staple of Loudoun County since 1993!
All proceeds from the run support the mission outreach of Crossroads UMC. This includes providing food and emergency financial assistance, assistance to the unhoused, offering English as a 2nd Language classes, mission trips to help build homes in Guatemala, and continuing to support students in Uganda.
In 2025, Crossroads added another race! Last June, we hosted the Flip Flop 5K/2K which supported initiatives that addressed a range of needs such as food insecurity among school age children, immigration support for neighbors who live and work in our community, and adolescent mental health services.
On April 25, 2026, Crossroads hosted the EmpowerHer 5K/2K which supported initiatives of Crossroads UMC that help women both locally and across the globe. Such programs include building homes for single mothers in Guatemala, leading small groups for women at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, educating young women in Uganda, working with women at the local homeless shelter, and more.
Each year, Crossroads provides gifts to children and families within the community. Ornaments will be put on the tree in the hall and each ornament will list a child’s specific wish or request a gift card. All wrapped gifts and gift cards will need to be returned by the designated collection date.
