Broadway Square, in collaboration with the Harm Reduction Division of Fargo Cass Public Health and the FM Coalition to End Homelessness, offered support, resources, products and pampering to community members in need on Sunday, August 28.
Day of Dignity is all about connecting people with free or discounted items and services, and with the community's help we were able to impact over 300 people in our area! Broadway Square hosted a personal care product drive leading up to the Day of Dignity event and collected well over 600 items. Any items not claimed during the event were packaged into Personal Care Bundles and distributed through the Gladys Ray Shelter and the Downtown Engagement Center.
Some items that were donated include:
