The mission of Cross-Lines is 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.  Cross-Lines was established in 1963 as "a place of hope" for those struggling with the hardships of poverty.
