The document discusses homelessness in Grand Forks, North Dakota and the work of Northlands Rescue Mission in providing shelter and support to the homeless population. Over 600 people needed shelter in a year with the main causes being divorce, domestic violence, addiction, lack of education and bankruptcy. Northlands Rescue Mission shelters 110 homeless individuals each night and provides meals and resources to help end homelessness. They work to meet the basic needs of the homeless with rescue, relief and restoring stability. The organization aims to prevent crime and save the community money compared to alternatives like incarceration. They request donations to sponsor individuals and help continue their important work.
