Daily Needs Drive!

We need to raise $5,000 to stock on-site "daily need" pantries at our Bemidji and Grand Rapids out-patient clinics for clients!

At North Homes Children and Family Services, our mission is to provide a community-based continuum of compassionate care to children and families in need.  An integral piece to our work with children and families is supporting our adult clients.  We do this through several programs that enable adults to gain the skills, resources, and services that are needed to live independently.  

One need that has been identified by our adult clients are the limitations to daily need resources - toilet paper, soap, hygiene items, diapers - that can be cumbersome to obtain through other agencies.  While there may be some resources at local food shelves, there are often restrictions on how much someone can take - regardless of their family needs.

With your help, we want to raise $5,000 to stock on-site "daily need" pantries at our Bemidji and Grand Rapids out-patient clinics.  

This will allow our adult clients additional flexibility and resources to keep themselves and their families resilient and healthy!

How you can help!
