On behalf of everyone at Crisis Intervention Shelter Service, we wanted to extend our deepest gratitude and say thank you to the John T. Vucurevich Foundation for allowing us to be a recipient of their funding this year.
The support that we are receiving from their organization not only helps our program continue our mission, but it will allow us to ensure the operations of our shelter as well as make a difference in the lives of domestic violence survivors.
We are so thankful for the belief and support in our mission and the services we provide in our community.


Crisis Intervention Shelter Service would love to extend a heartfelt “thank you” all of our donors!

IN 1990, A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS, UPSET ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF WOMEN IN MINNESOTA MURDERED BY THEIR PARTNERS FELT AN URGENCY TO DO SOMETHING TO HONOR THE LIVES OF 26 WOMEN WHO HAD DIED IN 1990 BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
