Short answer
The Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area covers Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota. Its core cities are Fargo and West Fargo in North Dakota and Moorhead and Dilworth in Minnesota, with commuter towns like Horace, Harwood, Casselton, Glyndon, and Hawley inside its daily orbit. Help Me is launching here, one zone at a time.
The facts, in one place
- Two states: North Dakota and Minnesota.
- Two counties: Cass and Clay.
- 911 works everywhere, but little else copies across the river.
- Help Me launches in Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead first.
Why the river matters
911 works everywhere. Almost nothing else copies across. Police, city services, county human services, tenant law, and many assistance programs follow the state and county you are standing in. A phone number that solves a problem in Fargo may be irrelevant in Moorhead, six minutes away.
As one place
People live it as one place: they work on one side and sleep on the other. City and neighborhood pages describe that lived geography, while the Resources pages stay strict about which side of the river a service belongs to.

Where Help Me fits

Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
