Basic Needs
Mesabi Range is committed to providing excellent educational opportunities to
the communities it serves. We recognize basic needs — including things like food,
housing and transportation — can have a direct impact on the well-being and success of our students.
We’re here to help and support you.
To assist our community in meeting these needs, we’ve compiled the resources below. The information will be revised when appropriate and evolve as necessary.
If you have any questions about the resources below or would like assistance connecting with them, please contact one of our Mesabi Range counselors.
