Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery

Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery works to end child abuse and neglect and create strong, healthy families. The Crisis Nursery supports families in crisis 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through our free, voluntary services

The Crisis Nursery shelters children for up to three nights in a nurturing, non-shaming, developmentally-appropriate environment. With a ratio of one Child Care Provider to four children, children get the individual attention they need. While at the Crisis Nursery, children enjoy three nutritious meals and three snacks per day, playing on the playground and in the gym, participating in enrichment activities such as the Bring Me A Book early literacy program, arts and crafts activities and using the books, art supplies and computer stations in the resource rooms, and sleeping in one of the cheerfully-decorated sleeping rooms. Specially-trained child care volunteers give the children additional nurturing and attention by rocking infants and leading activities for the toddlers and older children.  From the founding of the Crisis Nursery in 1983 to today, the work of Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery is sustained by the generosity of this community
