CROS Ministries

“Last year, I was in a very difficult place with nowhere to turn, but the Caring Kitchen staff and volunteers welcomed me with open arms. They fed me, cared for me, called me by my name, and gave me hope when I had very little left. Their kindness and encouragement helped me believe in a brighter future. Because of their support, I was able to go back to school and earn my degree. Today, I am proud to be a teacher. I truly don’t think I would be where I am today without CROS Ministries’ Caring Kitchen program. They gave me more than meals. They gave me hope and reminded me that I was worthy of a second chance.”

Good morning, Mango Crew! 🥭👋

We've reached that point in mango season where the trees are showing off... and they're not being shy about it! If you've been waiting for the perfect time to join us in the fields, this is it!

We’ll be gleaning mangoes on July 9, 10, 11 and 13 in Lantana. The grove is bursting with fruit, and we're trying to stay one step ahead of Mother Nature before these beauties become squirrel snacks instead of pantry staples!

✨ Reminder ✨
Mango trees are members of the poison ivy family, so the sap can cause skin irritation for those who are sensitive. If you are allergic to poison ivy, please do not glean mangoes with us.

Help us provide fresh, healthy produce to local families this summer! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A044DAEAC2FA7FB6-59250287-2025
