We’re so grateful to Respect Life St. Francis for their generous donation in support of our Safe Haven Baby Box Initiative. Your commitment to protecting and valuing life is making a real difference in our community.

The Safe Haven Baby Box provides a secure, anonymous option for a parent in crisis to safely surrender their newborn. It’s designed to ensure the baby is immediately protected and receives care, while giving the parent a safe and legal alternative during a difficult moment.

Recently, Wisconsin took an important step forward by expanding the Safe Haven law. What was once limited to 72 hours after birth has now been extended to the first 30 days of a baby’s life. This change gives parents more time to make a safe decision and increases the opportunity to protect vulnerable infants.

Thank you again, Respect Life {location}, for standing with us in this life-saving work. 💛

Welcome to Week 2 of toddlerhood… also known as:
“They ate it yesterday but today it’s offensive” 🙃

One day they love it.
The next day they act like you just served them literal garbage.
Toddlers + food = a whole experience 😅

If you’re tired of the mealtime battles, the food negotiations, and the “I ONLY want snacks!!” phase… we’ve got you.

Because dinner time shouldn’t feel like a daily showdown 🍽️

✨ Front of the House, Behind the Scenes ✨

Each week, we’ll highlight two staff members who play very different (but equally important!) roles in serving our clients and community.

💛 Meet Joyce – Nurse Manager
Joyce is one of the first friendly faces many of our clients meet. As our Nurse Manager, she oversees our medical clinic and provides pregnancy tests and ultrasounds with compassion and care. Joyce walks alongside women in some of their most vulnerable moments, offering support, information, and a steady presence when it’s needed most.

💛 Meet Lori – Development Director
While you may not see Lori in the clinic, her impact is everywhere. As our Development Director, Lori works tirelessly behind the scenes raising funds and building relationships that keep our mission moving forward. Because of her efforts—and the generosity of our community—we’re able to offer services like ultrasounds completely free of charge.

👏 Two roles. One mission. Countless lives impacted.

Stay tuned each week as we continue to introduce the amazing team that makes The Crossing what it is!

April is Childhood Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month.

For the past 20 years, The Crossing has walked alongside families, offering support, education, and encouragement when it’s needed most.

We believe prevention starts with connection. When parents feel supported, children are safer.

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing how this work has made a difference and why it matters more than ever.

🌅 Happy Easter! He is risen! 🌅
Matthew 28:6 – “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”
Today, we celebrate the hope and new life Jesus gives, and we are grateful for the volunteers, staff, and donors who help bring that hope to families at The Crossing every day.

04/03/2026

✝️ Good Friday ✝️
Today, we remember the ultimate act of love: Jesus giving His life for us on the cross. His sacrifice reminds us of hope, grace, and redemption. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve others in His name and for the volunteers, staff, and donors who make that possible every day.

Ahhh yes… you’ve officially entered the toddler era 😅
Where snacks are life, “no” is a personality trait, and tantrums can happen over the wrong color cup.

If you’ve found yourself thinking, “WHAT do I even do now?!” — you’re not alone.

Good news: you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
The Crossing is here to help you keep your cool (even when your toddler can’t 🙃).

Join our parenting education series all about toddlers—
✔️ Tantrums (theirs… not yours)
✔️ Big emotions
✔️ Real-life strategies that actually work

Because surviving toddlerhood shouldn’t require superpowers 💪

🎉 Happy April Fool’s Day! 🎉
We were going to announce a new “dress code policy”… but then we remembered it’s April 1st! 😜
Our amazing staff proves that whether in goofy hats, camo, or bridal wear, service and smiles are always in style.

Thank you to our volunteers, donors, and supporters for laughing along with us today! 💛

🩺 Inside the Clinic: What’s Actually Worth Tracking in Pregnancy?

Feeling overwhelmed by all the advice out there?
Let’s simplify it 👇

📌 3 simple things to track this week:

1️⃣ Baby movements (once you’re feeling them regularly)
2️⃣ How you are feeling—physically AND emotionally
3️⃣ Any questions that pop into your head

🛠️ Why this matters:
You don’t need to track everything—just the things that help you notice changes and feel more in control.

💬 Bring your notes to your next appointment (or to us!)—we’ll walk through them with you.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone 🤍

Because of you, families have been supported.
Because of you, parents have grown in confidence.
Because of you, children have been cared for and valued.

Huge thank you to the amazing students from Roncalli High School who spent time volunteering at The Crossing! 💙

A group of 12 students came with their teacher and jumped right in. After getting a tour (thank you, Lori!), seven students headed downstairs to package diapers, while the other five rolled up their sleeves to assemble our Steak and Egg assorted flavor packs.

Because of your willingness to serve, more families will receive the support they need. We are grateful for your energy, teamwork, and heart for the community. You made a real difference today!
