From My Neighbor in Need

The website http://www.myneighborinneed.org/havre is provides local citizens a way to ask for help from their community and a way for the community to give back.

Recently Fulfilled Needs

A single father of a young child was in need of a used, clean couch. They moved into their own place and had very little furniture and were sitting on the floor. Their need was verified and posted on http://www.myneighborinneed.org as well as featured in the Havre Daily News and Great Falls Tribune. A caring donor living in Havre contacted My Neighbor in Need and offered to buy this family a new couch. In addition, the donor paid to fulfill several other needs in Havre. Valley Furniture provided the couch at a discounted price and delivered it for free. A “You Rock” award goes out to the generous donor.
