Our Story
Betty's Room at the Crossroad
We are a non-profit organization that has been established to help those who find themselves in temporary situations with little or no options for financial support. Services offered are not gender specific.
After working for over 35 years and running a successful business, Lydia Grey-Cross, (Founder of Betty's Room at the Crossroad), found herself in a predicament facing temporary financial struggles, yet not qualifying for any support, as her income threshold was too high.
As they say, when it rains it pours. Financial burdens can begin to overpower you with a temporary set-back and suddenly your child has a growth spurt, you unexpectedly have to buy your child a new baseball uniform, or need to purchase ballet shoes for your daughter. You know your financial lack is temporary, but what can you do immediately to remain on track, while you are stuck in the middle? We at Betty's Room are here to help you maneuver through your financial set-back, by offering short-term assistance.
Please use the Middle Class Income Calculator to find out your range.
Food
You may have a good salary, have paid all your bills, and now you look at your bank account and see that your money is funny and your change is strange - no money left to purchase groceries. It is stressful and heart breaking to have to put bills before food. We do not want you or your children to struggle for food, and we have, therefore, created a program where you can sign up for temporary help with food boxes.

Clothes
From time to time, we cannot borrow from Paul to pay Peter; we cannot postpone a bill, yet we need to buy clothing for ourselves or our child(ren), but as we know, we do not qualify for assistance. Here at Betty's Room at the Crossroad, we understand what you are going through, and we do not want you to be without. We are here to fill this temporary gap.

Financial
We realize the struggles and are sensitive to the needs of the middle-class, who make too much income to receive most benefits from our society's surplus, but not enough to sometimes remain even-keeled with financial demands. For qualified applicants we provide funds to help pay past due bills and also offer job placement assistance.
