Golden Drive distributes food, supplies for children in need

WEST FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – A major initiative to take care of the needs of homeless kids over the summer is coming to fruition.

Golden Drive for Homeless Kids has been collecting food, clothing, hygiene products and other necessities to help out kids in need.

On Monday, social workers from local schools picked up an estimated $20,000 in products at the West Fargo Rural Fire Dept.

“We know poverty is one step away from being homeless. And you know, in the stores, the prices are ridiculous. So for Fargo schools, the resource rooms, we put together boxes, and this is totally, totally helping,” Golden Drive’s Sue Baron said.

The annual fundraising effort also included donations of gift cards from Culver’s.
