Maintaining your Grand Forks Senior Center connection has never been easier.
Convenience. Donations are made through automatic secure bank withdrawal or credit card charge, saving you time and money since you never have to write another check or find a stamp. And spreading support throughout the year makes generosity easier on your budget.
Peace of Mind. Your membership in this Society automatically renews and is always active, so you will never again have to look back to see when you last donated.
Flexibility. You’re in control because you can increase, decrease, pause, or stop your contributions at any time by calling 701-757-4864.
Satisfaction. Enjoy knowing that your support is an investment in older adults and will strengthen the programs and services you expect from the Grand Forks Senior Center. Your contribution will also help reduce administrative costs of the Grand Forks Senior Center.

What your gifts mean to our clients. In January 2020, our Resources staff visited with an out-of-state son. His mom was being discharged from the hospital and he was asking about services to help her stay at home. Resources staff got to work and made sure she went home with some nutritious frozen meals to help her gain strength back. They also got her started with Meals on Wheels for daily meal delivery and a few other services that made it possible for her to remain independent. We received word in October 2021 that this client would be moving to assisted living. The client and her family were so grateful for the help!
The client preferred to live in her home as long as possible. With your help she was able to do so for nearly two additional years! Your support makes it possible for us to continue providing these important services in our community. THANK YOU for caring about older adults!
