We have much to be thankful for! - From the Director's Desk

Thanksgiving reminds us to count our blessings and give thanks for everything and everyone that adds value to our lives. At Furniture Mission of the Red River Valley, it's no different. 

We're thankful for our friend Denise from Serenity Assisted Living & Memory Care, who invited us to be guests on her regular radio spot on KFGO. We were able to share our mission and impact with Amy, JJ, and their listeners! It was a thrill to be in the studio - If you want to hear the segment, Click Here!

We are thankful for an incredible team from our neighbors over at Dakota Supply Group, who helped us with a much needed warehouse inventory audit. Not only did they tackle the task with enthusiasm, but followed up with providing some light bulbs for our welcome area and a box of gloves for our volunteers to protect against cuts and pokes!

We are thankful for the West Fargo Exchange Club, who invited us to join a recent meeting and share the mission and impact of Furniture Mission of the Red River Valley with their group. They are a passionate bunch of service minded leaders in our community, and it was a privilege to visit with them! 

We are thankful for the kind hearts and talented hands at Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City, Bethel Lutheran Church in Wahpeton, and Carol from Carol's Upholstery for supporting us with quilts and blankets. Not only will these provide warmth, but will provide blessings to the families they serve from the prayer and love that went into each one. 

Lastly, we are grateful to our financial supporters, furniture donors, and incredible volunteers who make all of this possible. The only way we are able to surpass milestones like 1,100 households served and 12,000 pieces of furniture redistributed (which we recently did) is through the effort of so many. As always, we are so grateful to live and serve in such a generous community. 

There are certainly many more we are thankful for, but we'll leave you with this - as you look at what bring value to your life, pause and give thanks to the people around you and to our loving God, through which all things are possible. 

"Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, because his faithful love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34
