UPDATE ON REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT

Global Friends has committed to resettling 40 individuals in FY2026. Most likely all of the individuals coming through resettlement programs across the United States at this time will be from South Africa.

Global Friends is again looking for community support for furniture and household items. If you have a piece of furniture in good condition, please reach out to us by either calling 701-746-8233 or by emailing [email protected]. Anything you can do to help deliver the furniture is greatly appreciated.
