We belong. We take care of each other.
A Compassionate Community
NicBluCares
NicBluCares is the national pilot of a successful worldwide movement called ‘Compassionate Communities’. The people of Nicollet and Blue Earth Counties in Minnesota are building a safety net of community support, strengthening our compassion and capacity to care for one another in times of crisis and loss.
Community Support Network
NicBluCaresTOGETHER builds our capacity for compassion inviting us to come together with respect, authentic presence and attentive listening.Sharing our experiences allows us to companion each other through suffering, which is the definition of compassion.
Community Partnerships
NicBluCaresIMPACT collaborates with civic, health, and community-based organizations to foster a culture of caring that can reduce loneliness and isolation. By engaging the public and learning from each other, we can better cope with challenges, live healthier, and achieve wellbeing together.
