Mission Statement
CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank's vision is that every individual in our community has support in a time of need. What is a crisis? When a situation, emotion or stress has become too great to cope alone. Through our dedicated corps of volunteers, emotional and material assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CommUnity is the only CONTACT USA accredited agency in Iowa, also holds accreditation from the American Association of Suicidology, is a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network and was the eighth agency in the nation to join the Crisis Chat portal. We want to be your first call in Johnson County.
