Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To provide people in the Kansas City area affected by poverty with services and opportunities that encourage self-confidence, meet the needs of today, and provide the tools for future self-sufficiency.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Cross-Lines was established "a place of hope" for those struggling with the hardships of poverty. We are a safety net for our community. Cross-Lines' primary areas of focus are hunger and housing.

  • The Housing Stabilization Program provides client stability through rent and utility assistance, homeless rehousing, and homeless outreach. In 2024, Cross-Lines provided over $185,000 in rent and utility assistance. Through our Homeless Outreach efforts, 53 people moved from homelessness into permanent housing.

    Expenses $892,071 · Grants $184,258 · Revenue $2,867

  • The Hunger Relief programs offers food to low-income seniors, individuals, and families and utilizes over 1,000 volunteers each year. In 2024, the Community Kitchen served 53,986 meals to the community. The Community Market, provides food for families to take home and prepare. In 2023, the Community Market/Food Pantry provided food to 14,889 families.

    Expenses $822,559 · Grants $272,347

  • Cross-Lines provides education and outreach throughout the year to needy families and individuals living in Wyandotte, Leavenworth, and Johnson Counties in Kansas.

    Expenses $142,636

  • Christmas Store: The Christmas Store provides parents with the opportunity to 'shop' for Christmas for their families. Many families struggle to provide for the basic needs of their families, let alone the extra expense of Christmas presents. Each parent gets to choose what gifts they will give their children.

    Expenses $27,009 · Grants $22,560

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
