We always love it when the Aprire team volunteers at our office. They work hard and have a lot of fun doing it.
Thank you, Kelsey, Abbey, and Peyton for answering our call for help.

Last week, Aspire was able to help the Souris Valley United Way sort through a large donation from the Minot Chamber EDC CLI Class. They sorted, checked dates and helped get the items ready on the shelves.

Shout out to Kelsey, Abbey, and Peyton for jumping in and helping when needed!

This past week, we had the privilege of dedicating a new school pantry as part of our Backpack Buddies program. This pantry is especially meaningful to us because it was established in memory of our former board member, Paul Gillund.

Paul was a dedicated member of the Souris Valley United Way Board of Directors and an active member of the Minot Sertoma Club. His commitment to serving others and making our community a better place continues to have a lasting impact.

In Paul's honor, the Sertoma Club generously funded the opening and operation of a new school pantry at McKinley Alternative School.

What a wonderful way to honor Paul's legacy!

When you need extra hands at a nonprofit, you quickly learn how valuable your friends, neighbors, and volunteers are!
Yesterday we were lucky enough to have all three in our office.
A huge THANK YOU to the team at Independence, Inc., a Resource Center for Independent Living, for answering our call for help with Backpack Buddies, and to Town & Country Credit Union for sending volunteers to pick up a local food drive.
This is what community is all about!

Last Tuesday, the team from Resolution Life spent the afternoon volunteering. They brought food to donate to Backpack Buddies, packed bags of food for local students, helped assemble homeless outreach kits, and more.
Thank you, Resolution Life, for all your help!

Today: September 25th, is Give Like Dolly Day!
A donation of $32 will provide a year's worth of books for a local child.
More than 2,100 local children receive a FREE book in the mail every month.
Here's how it works: The Dollywood Foundation manages the program and makes the Imagination Library possible, while Souris Valley United Way raises the local funds needed to cover the cost of the books and mailing for children in our communities.
That means local support matters! Every donation helps keep books arriving in the mailboxes of local children from birth to age five.
Celebrate Dolly's legacy by making a difference for kids right here in our area.
