Giving Hearts Day: Inside United Way’s 24-Hour Push for Community

In this episode Heather Fuglum and Nancy O'Hara from United Way of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks & area discuss their plans for Giving Hearts Day (Feb 12), an open house at 1013 N 5th St, and the fundraising goal of $50,000. They explain how to donate at givegfegf.org/ghd and outline the day’s events—tours, donuts & coffee (8 AM–5 PM) and Deke’s pizza (5–7 PM). The guests also highlight local programs like the Backpack Program (now packing 1,400–1,500 bags weekly), Kids Closet, Families First, and the Laramore food pantry, and invite listeners to visit, volunteer, and support their community-driven efforts.
