The Grand Forks Mission lost their kitchen and heating system in the flood. The old church building housing the thrift store was torn down due to flood damage. Despite the flood damage, the Mission reopened a month after the flood, and served the community by housing volunteers as well as the homeless. Flood damages were over $850,000 at the Mission. They still need $250,000 to complete repairs.

To help the Mission, write them as 420 Division St., PO Box 6323, Grand Forks, ND 58206, or call (701) 772-6609.

Photos on this page were taken in July 1997 unless otherwise noted.
