We are now officially a little more than halfway through the summer. And to be honest, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind the past few months.

My team and I have been working hard to not only jumpstart and manage three social projects, but we’ve also been working on making our mission truly sustainable and high-impact. From figuring out cash flow to nailing down a system for reaching the people we want to serve, a lot of work has gone into making the “Cross Create Concept” a reality that can actually meet our long-term goals.

And now, at the end of a 4-month test period, we are turning a new page and starting a new chapter. However, our goal remains the same: we’re out to make a social-impact products that you can give to people who need them most.

The Story So Far

A few folks (and good friends) were kind to be our initial test users. Even with only a few members, we were able to make a big impact.

Hundreds of students in Uganda have experienced a practical business-training workshop. Homeless shelters outside the Washington, D.C. area are new equipped with a resource-hub that connects homeless individuals to self-help tools. Over 50 artists have been showcased and encouraged, thanks to business partners who are promoting art appreciation.

The Path Ahead

For the next month, we’ll continue to focus on a significant upgrade. This upgrade includes things like:

- Welcoming a whole new batch of members to make an impact through our social projects

- Making our products even more helpful to people who need them

- Improving the way we update our members

- Establishing another project or two

Our current members have been kind enough to agree to support us as we give Cross Create a big jolt of energy between now and September. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to see Cross Create come to fruition.

One last thing…

To those who have been following us at all over the last several months, I want to personally say a huge THANK YOU! Thank you for the interest. Thank you for checking in and offering to help. Thank you especially to our current members who’ve invested in laying a strong foundation for Cross Create.

Again, we are on a mission make social-impact products that you can give to people who need them most. And we hope to see more people empowered to make a selfless impact as we’re joined by many more members this Fall.
