Community Outreach

CREW Iowa is a proud supporter of Youth Emergency Services & Shelter (YESS).  As Iowa's largest provider of emergency services for youth, newborn through age 17, YESS touches the lives of nearly 1,900 children every year through a range of programs, including emergency shelter, crisis nursery care, crisis intervention and stabilization, mental health counseling and therapy, and care coordination. YESS is a nationally-accredited nonprofit organization that meets the physical, mental, and social health needs of children and creates an environment where families can thrive. YESS provides a safety net of services designed to care for kids and families when they need it most. The agency is home to Iowa's largest and most comprehensive emergency shelter as well as a variety of services that keep children safe in their own homes. YESS' unique combination of crisis stabilization, emergency shelter, mental health services, and care coordination does not exist elsewhere in Iowa - allowing the agency to uniquely serve the community’s most vulnerable children.
