MSUM campus community, Affinity Plus to raise funds to help students

MSUM is working with Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union to create a fund for  students affected by the Galleria apartment fire in south Fargo. At least 14 MSUM students were residents of that apartment building and have lost most, or in some instances, all of their belongings. MSUM is trying to provide needed assistance with books, financial aid and housing, but there will still be a great need for these students to recover lost items – including computers, furniture and clothing.

If you would like to contribute to this fund, you can drop off any check/cash donations at one of the two Moorhead Affinity Plus locations–CMU 104 or at 404 S. 8th Street Suite B, or send them in the mail to either location. If you are sending a check, please make the check payable to ‘MSUM Fire Victims’. In addition, Affinity Plus members can donate their Purchase Participation Points. All funds will be given directly to MSUM’s affected students. Affinity Plus will match donations that are received by Wednesday, November 24, 2010.
