Are you thinking about gardening like we are at Global Friends? This year, we are going to be planting favorite vegetables as part of our healthy summer initiative. There will be opportunities to come together to garden and share produce this summer. We are inviting families to participate. Should be fun!

It's clean-up time in Grand Forks. If you have a twin or full size bed frame, or any twin or full size bed sets with a mattress and box spring, please let us know. Or, if you feel so inclined to purchase one for us, that would be great. We are setting up an apartment for a family of five this week and we are short bed frames and twin bed sets.

I just had to tell a family that we didn’t have any diapers right now. Please consider helping us out now with diapers sizes 2, 3, and 4 please. Gift cards to Walmart, Target, and Hugo’s are also super helpful. Prices have gone up; families are stretched. Every gift helps! Donate online at http://www.gfcoalition.org/contribute.html
