Staff Volunteerism Spotlight: Beau

Beau is or Chief Morale Officer, or our in-house therapy dog.

Staff Volunteerism Spotlight: Bethany Wesley

I raised my daughters in an area of Bemidji that was not particularly affluent. More than once, we returned home to find neighborhood children playing on our own backyard play structure.

Staff Volunteerism Spotlight: Sean Moran

I have volunteered for Bemidji Area Take a Kid Fishing. I think it is important to introduce children in our region to opportunities they have right outside their back door.

Staff Volunteerism Spotlight: Nate Dorr

I am on the Northern Dental Access Center board of directors, serving as Treasurer, currently in my fifth year of service. I serve on the executive, finance and administrative committees. We generally serve low-income clients from around the region at dental offices in Bemidji and Halstad.

What is the Racial Equity Accountability Project?

The Northwest Continuum of Care announced the planned formation of this REAP Team last month.

A Warroad Community Day

The Warroad Area Community Fund (WACF) was an integral part of the first Yellow Rose Community Day, celebrated Friday, August 13th, at the new Hampton Inn in Warroad, Minnesota.

Child Care Success Spotlight: Hallock

The Northwest Minnesota Foundation began working in 2017 with the community of Hallock to discuss potential ways to increase the availability of child care slots. The Grace Lutheran Church, through its church council, stepped forward and offered its space to create a child care center.
