Spotlight on: Holiday Giving

Dramatic increase in demand for CrisisLink's services signals need for volunteers & support

Now is the time to give. Calls to CrisisLink's 24/7 Crisis Hotlines have increased more than 85% over the last year. Suicide-related calls are up 83% over the last year and calls from youth have increased 118%.

CrisisLink is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to respond to people struggling with their own crises. We help people see hope for the future, gain the courage to persevere, and understand that they are not alone. But we can't do this without your support.

  • Your support is critical to ensuring CrisisLink is able to provide quality, life-saving programs and services to people who need it the most.
  • Your support is essential to helping us recruit and train volunteers who donate more than 16,000 hours each year to keep our Crisis Hotlines and outreach efforts going strong.
  • Your support will help ensure someone who cares can be there to answer the call.

CrisisLink relies on more than 100 highly-trained volunteers to staff our crisis hotlines 16 out of 24 hours each day. As calls to our crisis hotlines increase, the need for more volunteers and support is increasing as well.

Please Donate Today.
Your generous contribution this holiday season will help support the volunteers who give their time to help others, as well as our life saving programs in the region.

Please Volunteer Today.
