All gifts given to Global Friends will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Otto Bremer Trust.
Over 200 New Americans are served through our programs every year with our approximately 260 volunteers. Our volunteers total many hours of service—in 2017 we topped 6,685 volunteer hours. This great accomplishment is not possible without financial, volunteer, and in-kind support. Every year, we are fortunate to receive refugees through Lutheran Social Services New American program. Refugees are looking to build a new life here and become a part of the Greater Grand Forks community. They are joined by many secondary refugees. Secondary refugees tell us that they are choosing Grand Forks because they have heard that it is a safe place to live, their children can get a good education, and they are able to find jobs. Global Friends helps to integrate New Americans into the community by building friendships. After volunteering just a few months, one of our volunteers shared this the following: “Being a part of Global Friends has changed my life. This experience makes me want to be a better person and I feel more compassionate towards refugees because I now understand their story.” Global Friends Coalition is excited to be part of a thriving, diverse community. We are receiving more local support than ever before and this is what we need to continue our work. Help us support New Americans in our community with a contribution! Small or large—every gift helps. Many of our grantors look to see how many individual contributions are being given, so we need everyone’s help.
