GM GIVES

At GMFS the staff have created a fund we call “GM Gives,” which is a fund to help our clients (the many of whom live near or below the poverty level) with emergency needs.   Your tax deductible contribution will go to this fund which is called an “unrestricted” fund.  That means our “GM Gives” committee can use these funds for the many different emergency needs our clients may have.  We want to assure you that these funds will be used very carefully and only for legitimate client needs.

- If you would like to make a significant donation to GMFS, to a “restricted fund” that enables you to have some input to where you dollars go, in a sense become a part of our team, we would welcome your involvement with our mission.  Please contact George Dubie at 320-214-9692, Ext. 4.
