• 4:57
  Speaker 2: they need food, stamps well whatever they, need you, know
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: they're able to be able to provide for. Them so
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it gives us a way to be able to open
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: our doors to other organizations that they can be able
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to offer their services where they wouldn't be able to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: offer it If crossroads wasn't.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: There and having a group like that that can help
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: people navigate it's ridiculously hard to navigate any government agency
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: for anything when you're trying to get some sort of.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Assistance you can't make the rent or you, know you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: don't want the electric to get turned off or the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: heat in the winter or something like. That having an
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: organization that is familiar with navigating that system and helping
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you get that's. Priceless that, is that's something that's amazing
• 5:43
