Concerns
Gladys Ray Shelter
The Gladys Ray Shelter recently opened in downtown Fargo. The
mission of the Gladys Ray Shelter is to provide a safe and
comfortable place to stay for people who cannot access other
shelter options in the community. The emergency shelter will
also help connect people to permanent housing and services in a
welcoming and non-judgmental environment. The shelter is in need
of many basic living items for their clients. If you would
consider making a donation to the Gladys Ray Shelter Fund we
will be able to purchase some of these items for them. Please
contact Alyssa Dehne for further information or questions at
298-3563 or dehne3@msn.com
Thank you for your generous hearts.
