Care & Share of Crookston: Supporting Our Community, Restoring Hope, and Building Stability

Care & Share of Crookston provides more than emergency shelter. We offer hope, compassion, and a path toward stability for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, poverty, food insecurity, substance use challenges, and other personal hardships. Our mission is to meet people where they are, address immediate needs, and connect them with the resources and support necessary to move toward lasting independence.

Through individualized case management, our staff help guests navigate housing applications, employment opportunities, public benefits, financial challenges, and community resources. Our on-site partnership with Riverview Recovery brings critical recovery services directly to those we serve, including clinical assessments, drug and alcohol counseling, individual and group counseling, and ongoing recovery support. We also provide access to on-site nursing care, helping address healthcare needs and reduce barriers to essential services.

Care & Share provides a safe, staffed environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week, where individuals and families can receive support with dignity and without judgment. Our additional community programs include the New Hope Food Shelf, a soup kitchen serving lunch and dinner seven days a week, and a free donation room offering clothing, household items, diapers, school supplies, winter gear, and other necessities.

Serving eight communities throughout northwest Minnesota, Care & Share is committed to addressing the interconnected challenges of homelessness, hunger, health, and recovery. Through dedicated staff, community partnerships, donors, and volunteers, we strive to ensure that no one has to face life's challenges alone. Our mission is more than providing a place to stay; it is about restoring dignity, creating opportunities, and helping individuals and families move from crisis toward stability.
