Our Community Outreach Committee has been working to bring fun and fulfilling volunteer opportunities for our members. One of the core principles of our organization is giving back to the community. While we do provide monetary donations, being able to volunteer at an event can be even more rewarding, and it allows us to connect with each other. If you have some time available, consider joining at least one of our outreach events.

The Great North Pole’s mission is to support children and families in need in Cass and Clay Counties, spreading joy and the spirit of Christmas to every household they touch.

We will be taking three vehicles to help deliver packages to families in our community. The group will meet at Caribou on 45th St (across from Scheels) at 1:45 PM to split into teams.

Sign up today to be part of this enjoyable event. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4EAEAE29A3F4C07-53364705-thegreat

If you're unable to join us for The Great North Pole outreach, please consider donating items to Churches United through their Amazon Wishlist to assist those who are homeless or facing difficulties in our community. Amazon.com
