Across Ennis
It is the mission of ACROSS to provide interim housing to citizens of Ennis, Texas who are homeless due to a crisis situation.
Further, to provide and assist in locating services and counseling that benefit individuals as they move toward independence. A-CROSS Ennis is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization in Ellis County, Texas.
"Because of the boundaries I set, I was able to realize the amount of change I saw in people and how much respect I have received." - A-CROSS Client
We are so thankful to be an organization supported by The Greater Ennis United Way ❤️
Do you have questions about SNAP, TANF OR MEDICAID and/or need help with the application process? Come and see our friends with the NTFB tomorrow and they will be happy to help. 💙
(This is not a food giveaway.)
We have several opportunities for individuals or groups to sponsor our apartments and support our clients in very tangible ways.
We are always building our inventory of items that our clients take with them to their next home: bed sets (twin and full), standard size pillows and cases, bath towels, mats, rugs, shower curtains.
We also have opportunities for individuals or groups to pray for our clients, bring them a hot meal, provide a care basket.
Contact us if you would be interested in any of these ways to share the love of Christ in action! 972-872-9828
How does failure, or the fear of failure, affect you?
No matter what your season of life is like right now, we are rooting for you!
THANK YOU to our anonymous donor! We appreciate these pillows SO MUCH and can't wait to provide them for our clients!

Happy Coffee Day! Just for fun, what is your favorite coffee drink?☕
If you would like to partner with us as we furnish our apartments for each new client, one great way is through our Amazon Wishlist.
One way we love to serve our clients is by having them take the household supplies that they had in their A-CROSS apartment when they move to their next home. Because of this, we are always re-supplying our inventory of items that are on this list. Thank you supporting and loving our clients with us, in this way!
Check out our Wishlist in the comments below!
At A-CROSS, we go beyond just providing housing. We look to find the struggles that led to the crisis. We can assist our clients in finding a better job, connecting them to qualified counselors, helping them get health care, locating child care, getting them groceries etc.
Upon move in, we work with all of our clients to come up with a plan to get back on their feet. And hold them accountable to KEEP WORKING THEIR PLAN!
We are a hand up, but not a handout!
