Crossroads United Way partners with Lantern, a trusted platform that serves more than half a million families nationwide, to help connect families with timely, relevant resources right in their communities.
Our families and community partners help strengthen our local network every day by sharing information about programs, events, and services that support children and families. Organizations play a vital role in this effort by providing local, zip-code–specific information that helps families access what they need, when they need it most.
Messages shared through Lantern are targeted by a child’s age and location, ensuring families receive information that is meaningful and relevant. These messages may include opportunities such as:
- Healthy pregnancy and birthing classes
- Library story times and early literacy programs
- Parenting and skill-building groups
- Health fairs and family wellness events
- Food assistance, basic needs support, and family-friendly activities
