Peace Garden State Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
These organizations are quietly doing the work of Matthew 25:40 in North Dakota — feeding the hungry, sheltering the stranger, lifting the fallen — and the important work of assisting those oppressed by life. It is a beautiful thing, responding to those in need as we are all commanded. They serve their neighbors. These are not just examples to follow — they would welcome your time and support of their mission.
North Dakota — Lights shining across the Peace Garden State
The largest human services organization in North Dakota. Food, shelter, refugee resettlement, disability services, mental health, and addiction recovery — statewide. The Lutheran mission to serve the neighbor, running at full scale across the northern plains.
The Catholic anchor for the Fargo-Moorhead area. Food pantry, emergency assistance, and community ministry rooted in the Catholic social tradition. When people in Fargo have nowhere else to turn, they know where the cathedral is.
A coalition of faith communities running a men's shelter, a day center, and street outreach in Fargo. Churches, united. Not competing. Not duplicating. Working together because the problem is too big for any one congregation.
Feeding America member serving all of North Dakota and western Minnesota. Millions of pounds of food across the high plains every year — reaching rural communities where hunger is easy to overlook.
Straddling the ND/SD border. Food security, elder care, and youth programs in one of the highest-poverty communities in the United States. They are still standing.
100+ years of mental health services, addiction counseling, and family therapy — statewide. A century of showing up for the hardest human struggles North Dakota families go through.
The anchor for North Dakota's Muslim community. Zakat and sad
The 25th of every month is WE CARE DAY.
One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
Share your WE CARE DAY story — the one that made you feel good about doing it. Every little kindness helps. A compliment goes a long way. Jesus says don't tell anyone of your kindness, but we need your example so you only get to use your last name initial so you don't have to compromise your faith. Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
Know a business or organization in North Dakota that shares our values — serving neighbors, lifting the vulnerable, doing the important work of assisting those oppressed by life — Matthew 25:40? Tell us about them and we'll shine a light on their work so that you may patronize these entities who share your values.
