Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much.
- Helen Keller

About Us

Open Doors – 65 provides Christian based hope and help to those in need via a free thrift store in Fargo, North Dakota. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

Whom We Serve

We serve people of all ages and backgrounds. No matter who you are, what you have done in life, or what you believe, we treat everyone as valued individuals and do our best to be a blessing to everyone who comes through our doors. We love because Christ first loved us.

If you are lonely or need a welcoming place to hang out… if you require clothing, household items, or any thrift type items, please visit us.

What to Expect If You Visit Us

We have a Welcome Center lounge area where visitors can talk, snack, pray, read, or just come in to get out of the hot or cold weather. Snacks and drinks are served while you are with us. Occasionally, we even have delicious Sandy’s Donuts!

Open Doors 65 provides used clothing and shoes for ALL AGES and genders. Household items, such as dishes, bedding, and decor, are also available.

We have a very limited food pantry you can utilize if needed, and we also have free Narcan and Covid tests.

Bibles, magazines, and many books are available at NO COST.

If you have a need for prayer or have prayer requests, please let our staff know. If you need hope and help, or information on community resources, do tell us. We are here to lend a hand in anyway we can.
