UC Hope

In the spring of 2020, we started a non-profit organization called UC Hope which is focused on helping families in need in the communities of Dilworth, Glyndon and Felton, Minnesota.  We work closely with area churches, police departments and DGF school administration/counselors to assess needs.  In the past year we have provided the following:  

• Food, clothing and household items donated at our thrift store to families who need assistance.
• Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Food Baskets to families who would not have otherwise had a good meal.
• Sponsored lunches in the park for the City of Dilworth Police Department.
• Partnered with the City of Glyndon Police Dept, Glyndon Fire Dept and DGF Music Program to buy Christmas gifts for families in need.
• Developed a UC Hope Community Grant Program to fund projects which enhance and strengthen the DGF community.
• Food bags for families who need assistance.
• Sponsored the Dilworth Parents Group Backpack Program.
• Sponsored the Glyndon Lutheran Church Backpack Program.
• 90+ backpacks filled with school supplies to help students as they headed back to school.
• Flowers throughout the year for the residents at Serenity Assisted Living and Memory Care in Dilworth.
• Provided the Fire Departments in Dilworth, Glyndon and Felton with funds to purchase safety equipment to keep them safe!
• Assisted families with medical bills and travel costs.
• Assisted families who experienced house fires.
• Winter clothing – jackets, hats, gloves, boots and snow pants to help students in need of warm clothing.
