Every Purchase at The Overflow Is Changing Lives in Northern Wisconsin

When you buy a lamp, a set of tools, a piece of furniture, or one of our new overstock arrivals at The Overflow, you’re doing far more than bringing something useful home. You’re investing in powerful, ongoing ministry through Crossroads Outreach Center.

Here’s what your support makes possible:

Jail Ministry Every week, teams from Crossroads go into local jails to lead Bible studies, worship, and discipleship for men and women who are incarcerated. Many have shared powerful testimonies of encountering Jesus in their darkest seasons — finding forgiveness, purpose, and hope for a new future after release.

Life Relaunch Events In 2025 alone, Crossroads hosted over 10 multi-day Life Relaunch gatherings across the region. These events create safe spaces for deep healing from trauma, addiction, grief, and life’s hardest wounds. Participants leave with renewed identity, restored relationships, and practical tools to move forward in God’s purpose for their lives. The stories coming out of these events are nothing short of miraculous.

Community Partnerships & Future Vision Crossroads works alongside local churches and other ministries to strengthen the entire Northwoods region. They’ve supported church plants, pregnancy resource centers, creation-based education, and more. And coming soon: Overflow Worship nights — times when believers from across the area can gather in unified worship and encounter the presence of Jesus together.

The Overflow makes all of this possible by selling quality new overstock items alongside carefully selected thrift donations. It’s a creative, sustainable way to fund ministry without constantly asking for financial support. When you shop here, you become a vital partner in this work.

Thank you. Your choice to shop at The Overflow is a tangible way to say, “I believe in what God is doing here.”
