Program accomplishments
- Bakken Oil Rush Watford City Outreach continues to be a vital resource in western North Dakota, serving individuals and families in need by providing for their physical, spiritual, and social well-being. Through our work, we help people draw closer to Jesus and become positive contributors to the community.Care. Connect. Collaborate. In 2025, we served our community by distributing essential resources, offering educational programs, and fostering a spirit of generosity. We provided winter wear valued at $47,880, ensuring over 552 McKenzie County families stayed warm. We offered Spanish and English classes, distributed school supplies to families in need, provided children with toys during the Christmas Toy Mall, and fed a record number of families free meals during the Thanksgiving Gathering. All of these help create new opportunities for connection and growth within our community outreach. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our 200+ volunteers, who generously gave their time and effort to serve our neighbors. It is estimated we spent $306,000 in wages offering programs and services to the community. Through these programs and more, we remain committed to providing a hand up, not just a handout, while strengthening our community through compassion, service, and faith.Expenses $427,855 · grants $47,880
