couples, and families across the state of North Dakota. Through its work in
counseling, adoption services, and guardianship, Catholic Charities North
Dakota served over 2,200 people across 50 counties in the 2018-2019 year.

donated healthcare supplies to those in need locally and globally at low or nocost. In 2018, the organization based in Fargo distributed 70,544 items.

Contribute to equitable lives

NDWN hosts Ready To Run, a bipartisan event with campaign training for
women.

Help mentor at-risk youth
The Western Wellness Foundation, Inc. was started over 20 years ago by
