YWCA Cass Clay
One of the metro’s emergency shelter providers, and one of the organizations that exists precisely for the situations an app must never try to hold.
Short answer
YWCA Cass Clay provides emergency shelter and support services for women and children in the Fargo–Moorhead area, including help for people leaving domestic violence. Contact the organization or call 211 for current intake information. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 first.
If you are in danger right now
Call 911. Getting somewhere safe comes before any intake process, any app, and any plan. Advocacy organizations can help with what comes after, and they can help with safety planning before a crisis too.
Why this is on a help app’s website
Because someone will search for help and land here. A community app for jump starts and moving boxes has no business being the last page a person in danger reads. These organizations are the right ones, and naming them is the least this site can do.

988
988 is the national suicide and crisis lifeline, available by call or text. Veterans can press 1. It is the right number for a mental-health crisis, not an app.
Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
