Come see us tomorrow at the free Scheels Trunk-or-Treat and help us take the top prize for favorite trunk!

We will be there along with 15 other local nonprofits handing out candy from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, October 29, and let's just say you'll want to ignore the "Beware" signs for this swamp and step right up!

Attendees will vote on their favorite trunk, and the top five will get a donation from Scheels!

Scheels is also collecting non-perishable food items to donate to Rural Cass Emergency Food Pantry at the event, and there will be a Halloween photobooth, temporary face tattoos, and free arcade games in-store!

Hope to see you there!

It was another fang-tastical evening for our annual Candy Crawl this week!

Candy Crawl is a safe, inclusive trick-or-treating event we put on for the people we support with the help of many local organizations. It is so much fun to see the creativity our community members put into their tables and the smiles everyone has as people move from one table to the next. It's enough to make a werewolf howl with joy.

Thank you to the many organizations who volunteer to decorate a table and keep this event going (tags in the comments), thank you to the FARGODOME for being a gracious host, and thank you to everyone who donated candy or time to help this event be a success!

We wanted to take a moment and highlight our Life Enrichment program and the sponsors such as Bell Bank who recognize the importance of free, accessible activities for people with disabilities in our community.

The goal of our Life Enrichment Program is to provide experiences and activities that help the people we support grow their confidence and skills, and live the best life possible. Whether it's going to a major sports game, doing some ice fishing, taking music or craft classes or just enjoying time out in the community, these activities bring joy and meaning to the folks we support, and they wouldn't be possible without our supporters.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities!

We had another awesome Designer Purse Bingo night recently at Vic's Bar & Grill! It's so much fun to see people excited and having a blast while showing their support for our mission. We gave away a lot of fantastic purses and scratch off prizes, and we had a large pot for the 50/50 raffle! It was a wonderful evening, and we can't wait until the next one. We don't have a date yet, but you can be sure we'll announce it here!

Thanks to our sponsors for helping us make these events possible: Gate City Bank, FM Area Foundation, FM Crusaders M.C. HUB International Hohenstein Homes, RDO Equipment Co., Old National Bank, Bell Bank, Two Men and a Truck - Fargo, ND, Christensen Group Insurance, Dakota Medical Foundation, ByteSpeed, and Wold Johnson, P.C.

We'd also like to thank the organizations that donated gift cards and prizes: Blackbird Woodfire, Cash Wise, Hi-Ho Burgers & Brews, Hornbacher's, Louie's Sports Bar And Grill, Mezzaluna, Zorbaz on the Lake and Cass County Electric Cooperative.

Thank you everyone for your commitment to the people we support!

There's only one thing missing in Ashley's terrific trick-or-treating transformation--the candy! Can you help us out?

We are looking for Halloween candy donations to help us fill buckets at our annual Candy Crawl for the people we support. This event is a way for our clients to get dressed up and do some trick-or-treating in a safe, inclusive environment. To help, you can drop off candy at our main office, 2903 15th St S, Moorhead.

In addition, we also still have tables available for organizations who want to participate in this fun event! You can send us a message for more details.

Thank you!!

Today is World Pharmacists Day, and we'd like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Medical Pharmacy Moorhead for being a trusted resource for us for more than 30 years!

The staff at Medical Pharmacy Moorhead know and love the people we support, and they have always gone above and beyond to help our DSPs and other staff understand the medications they administer and answer any questions that come up. The folks we support can sometimes have complicated medical needs, and Medical Pharmacy Moorhead has been a tremendous partner in helping us provide the best care possible at all times.

Thank you, and happy World Pharmacists Day!!

Thank you to the group of volunteers from Gate City Bank who joined us recently to help us prep supplies for craft activities and our upcoming Candy Crawl as part of the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce Chamber Impact Day!

Chamber Impact Day is an annual event that brings volunteers to local nonprofits, and we were delighted to see our volunteers were from long-time supporter Gate City Bank!

We couldn't do what we do without the help of our community, and we are so grateful when people are so willing to jump in and lend a hand.
