Grace House is a nonprofit organization that provides safe, temporary shelter for people who are experiencing homelessness. As Itasca County’s only homeless shelter, Grace House typically serves more than 200 individuals and children each year.
Grace House guests may stay at the shelter for up to 30 days if needed to focus on developing life and job skills that enable them to become more self-sufficient in the community. The shelter is equipped with an on-site mini resources center where guests can access employment and housing opportunities. Private office spaces afford guests the opportunity to meet with Grace House’s trained staff and other professionals in a private, confidential setting. View our provided services here.

In striving towards ElderCircle’s mission of “empowering older adults to maintain active living and healthy independence”, there is no more basic need for independence than groceries on the table. Our grocery shopping and delivery program operates entirely with volunteers, who take orders over the phone, shop to fill the orders, and deliver to each client’s doorstep. In 2017, 80 Itasca County clients received more than 1,400 grocery orders delivered to their homes, which empowered them to remain independent in their homes.
