CONTRIBUTE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ​FOR NEWLY RESETTLED FAMILIES

Our Reception & Placement program requires us to setup an apartment for newly arrived refugees resettled through Global Friends. This includes furnishing the apartment with necessities and comforts to welcome the family to a new home that's ready to settle into.

Smaller household items can be dropped off at our office at 1815 Demers Ave. Please call 701-746-8233 ahead of visiting to ensure we are available in the office.

For furniture, please call 701-746-8233 to arrange drop off or pick up and to ensure we have capacity to store the items.

If you would like to donate money to purchase household items, instead, please donate via PayPal and select "Resettlement Services" or by check and put "resettlement" or "welcome boxes" in the memo line.
