Churches United was founded in 1987 by eleven local faith groups originating from the old Bethesda Lutheran Church. Over the past 37 years, the organization has expanded to include more than 100 supporting faith communities. Today, Churches United operates three locations throughout the Fargo-Moorhead community, offering one shelter, a food pantry, and a permanent supportive housing complex. Their core values are to Serve with Heart, Engage Authentically and Act with Courage. Their work is carried out with an emphasis on equity and authentic community engagement. 88% of every dollar received goes directly to serving our neighbors in need.
