Foundation 2 is pleased to announce that we are one of five local agencies receiving emergency funds to assist with cuts in government money.  On August 21st, 2012, United Way announced that Foundation 2 will receive $50,762 for Mobile Crisis Outreach, allowing the program to continue serving the community at full capacity.

Mobile Crisis Outreach provides in-person crisis intervention to Linn County residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, usually within one hour of the initial call for assistance.  Upon arrival, the Mobil Crisis Outreach team will:

• Assess the situation
• Attempt to stabilize and diffuse the crisis
• Provide counseling as needed
• Provide referrals to other Foundation 2 or community resources
