CROS Ministries is a non-profit organization based in Lake Worth, Florida, founded in 1978 when a coalition of Palm Beach County United Methodist churches joined to address community hunger. Over time, it broadened its scope to interfaith partnerships with diverse denominations, faith groups, and local agencies to develop solutions for food insecurity. The organization operates a network of seven food pantries across ten locations, runs a produce gleaning program with local farms to recover fresh produce, and operates the Caring Kitchen to prepare and deliver hot meals, all without discrimination. Its work focuses on serving families and individuals in need, bridging gaps in hunger relief and coordinating direct support to the community through multiple food-access programs. CROS Ministries positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a collaborative provider of hunger-relief services in Palm Beach County. Recent activities include hosting and participating in community events to raise awareness and support for its programs.
