CUAD may have a small staff of 9 employees, but we were able to make a big difference this Christmas for one local family in need.

We asked Burleigh County Social Services to connect us to one family that we could help this year. While we don’t know much about the background of the family, we know that they have four children and two adults that needed our help. 

Staff generously took on the challenge of providing new clothing, shoes, bedding, food, family board games, and many personal care items for this family of 6. According to their case worker, the family was “overwhelmed”. Truly, the best part of Christmas is sharing and spreading joy.
