The Crittenton Center in Sioux City is closing its emergency shelter permanently, after a temporary closure was announced earlier this month. The director says issues related to COVID-19 played a big part in that decision. The center s executive director said in a news release today that staff absenteeism related to COVID and a decrease in new applicants make it challenging to run the center. The emergency shelter was opened in the late 1970s at 3901 Green Ave. In 2020, 180 children were cared for by the shelter. The Sioux City Journal reports that the chair of the Crittenton Center s board of directors says they will collaborate with community partners to identify areas of need and how the agency can reimagine its shelter facility to best fill those needs.

Briar Cliff Clubs Offer Joy This Christmas
Dec 16, 2020 By Dept. of Marketing & Communications
The Crittenton Center and the Youth For Christ Organization received some extra joy this holiday season from Briar Cliff University clubs Catholic Daughters and Men and Women of Color.
Catholic Daughters of Briar Cliff rallied to give families of the Crittenton Center a memorable Christmas. With 80 angels, Briar Cliff’s DPT program as well as students, faculty, and staff generously gave each family at least two toys.
“I believe it’s important to help the Crittenton Center because they help families that are down on their luck try to make a future for themselves,” says Katie Logan, senior president of Catholic Daughters.
