Fargo Union Mission Inc

Programs: Emergency shelter: we provide a safe, warm place to sleep for those seeking to escape the elements. Along with the actual shelter for the individual, we also make showers and laundry available as well. We also offer longer-term shelter in the form of transitional housing. The only restrictions that would prohibit someone from accessing our shelter services is if they have been using drugs, drinking alcohol or are a registered sex offender. Provide meals:our kitchen is open to not only those who stay with us but also to the community. Every day, two nutritious meals are prepared by our trained and certified cooks and made available, free of charge, to those in need. Various other services:in addition to meeting the basic needs of food and shelter, our case management services focus on helping the individual to a place of self-sufficiency through programs tailored to meet their individual needs. We help with such things as obtaining id, mental health and substance abuse counseling and treatment, employment assistance, housing navigation and assistance and various other services, all in a non-discriminatory setting.

operate thrift store:the thrift store is one of our main revenue streams due to sales of inventory. In addition to the sales of product, we also are a primary provider of free clothing and other household essentials to those in need within our community. Other agencies make referrals to our store in order to provide their clients with these products in order to meet basic needs such as clothing, beds, and cooking utensils. All product is donated from the community and either sold to assist in the operation of the organization, given away to those in need, or used internally for day-to-day operation of the organization.
