Giving Hearts Day 2026: Join Us in “Giving Back Through Time”

By 7113653861 • February 3, 2026
Every act of kindness has a ripple effect—one that stretches far beyond a single moment. This Giving Hearts Day, Catholic Charities North Dakota invites you to celebrate with us as we step back through the decades and honor the timeless power of generosity. Our theme, “Giving Back Through Time – Kindness Never Goes Out of Style,” reminds us that compassion has always been at the heart of our work and always will be. A Tradition of Serving North Dakotans for Over 100 Years For more than a century, CCND has been walking alongside individuals and families during their most vulnerable moments—supporting older adults, individuals with intellectual disabilities, pregnant women, children in foster care, and so many others. Your generosity each year ensures these services not only continue but grow. Why Giving Hearts Day Matters Giving Hearts Day is CCND’s second largest fundraising opportunity of the year and a moment when our entire community comes together to lift up neighbors across North Dakota. Gifts made on this day help fund critical programs—especially those with little outside funding—allowing us to reach people who may be hearing about our mission for the first time. This year, Dental Flossophy in Bismarck has pledged match dollars, meaning every Giving Hearts Day contribution goes even further to support vulnerable North Dakotans.

Disaster Relief at Catholic Charities North Dakota

When disaster strikes, North Dakotans step up for one another. At Catholic Charities North Dakota, we’re committed to ensuring that individuals and families impacted by natural disasters receive the immediate, compassionate support they need to recover, rebuild, and regain stability.


Our Mission

Guided by our values of compassion, dignity, and service, we help neighbors in crisis by providing timely relief, connecting them with essential community resources, and advocating for their long‑term recovery needs. Whether it’s a tornado, severe storm, flood, or other emergency, we’re here to walk alongside those affected.


How We Help

Catholic Charities monitors state and federal disaster response updates to serve as a centralized, reliable source of information for our community. Our disaster relief efforts are shaped by the unique needs of each event and community and are dependent on the funds we receive through grants. Support may include:


  • Emergency Financial Assistance — covering essential needs such as insurance deductibles, temporary housing support, home repairs, or other urgent expenses not covered by insurance.
  • Resource Navigation — connecting individuals with local, state, and federal resources and helping coordinate services.
  • Community Collaboration — working closely with county agencies, VOAD partners, parishes, and local nonprofits to ensure an effective, united response.


Following the June 20, 2025, Eastern North Dakota storms, our team helped distribute emergency relief funds, fielded calls from affected households, and collaborated with county leaders and local agencies to identify unmet needs and support storm victims as they rebuilt their lives.
