Crossman & Company Helps Organize Fashion Square Mall Retailers to Support Jobs Partnership of Florida

ORLANDO - Crossman & Company, the Orlando-based commercial property firm that ranks as one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, recently helped organize retailers at Orlando Fashion Square mall near downtown Orlando in support of the Jobs Partnership of Florida – a coalition of churches, business and community organizations that inspire and equip underemployed and unemployed individuals in the area of life skills, job skills and Bible-based decision making skills.

John Crossman, president of Crossman & Company, recently spoke to Jobs Partnership of Florida volunteers and organizers at the Summit Church, located near Orlando Fashion Square.

“Gainful employment is one of the most important resources any person can achieve,” Crossman told the group. “Jobs are the building blocks of every community. If we want to improve our communities, our lifestyles and our business relationships, we have to look at jobs as a shared responsibility, not a competitive edge,” he said.

Crossman & Company helped organize Orlando Fashion Square retailers including Olive Garden, Sbarro’s, Subway, Panera Bread, Chic-Fil-A and Fuji Express to support Jobs Partnership of Florida.

“Our passion is to revive the American work ethic by reconnecting the church to the public square,” Crossman explained.

“The Jobs Partnership of Florida is helping to provide a framework for local churches to equip individuals to work and support themselves and their families,” he said. “Our goal is to help transform the world one community at a time.”
