THE VISION OF CROSSING THE GAP

Crossing the Gap is a nonprofit community organization founded and based in Claiborne County TN that exists to assist individuals and families in the transition from a place of struggle to a place of success.

Our desire at CTG is to be a central point in our community not only for individuals and families but other organizations as well. We believe that the success of any community depends not on one sole entity but the community as a whole. As we develop our own unique ways to reach Claiborne County, we want to come along side other organizations to assist in their efforts as well as connect them with those in our community that can benefit from what they provide.

Crossing the Gap began in 2019 when a few individuals wanted to give back to the community in a way to help relieve the burden for families around the Thanksgiving holiday. We began with a total of 75 Thanksgiving meals and in 2022 we had grown to over 300 meals (200 of which were in Claiborne County). In those numbers we were able to feed 500 Claiborne County children Thanksgiving dinner as well as extra meals while home on the holiday break!

CTG was officially organized as a Tennessee nonprofit and designated a 501C3 organization in October of 2022.
