The City of Crown Point Sends Donations in Support of Hurricane Harvey Victims

The City has chosen to adopt Alvin, Texas based on its similar downtown likeness, character and population to Crown Point. The City has collected $2090.00 and will provide gift cards to various stores at the request of the community.

We would like to thank the Crown Point staff, residents and business owners for their support as we not only collected money, we also collected, non-perishable food items, water, clothing, cleaning products, baby items etc. Enough to fill a semi-trailer donated by Superior Petroleum who will be transporting the goods at the end of the week.

Thank you to Cross Point Church, First Christian Reformed Church, First United Methodist Church, Hillside Community Church, and St. Matthias Parrish.
