Cass County Welfare Board (Cass County, N.D.)

The Cass County Welfare Board was established following a survey of relief work by Mr. Albert Evans, Assistant Director of Disaster Relief of the American Red Cross, in February 1933.  The Board was a volunteer organization set up to recommend general policies for administering relief, to coordinate the responsibilities of private organizations and to serve as an appeal board for problem cases.

The collection consists of monthly summaries (1933-1935) and the 1934 annual report of Cass County Relief and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration; board meeting minutes (1934); some letters and memoranda, list of staff, audit report (1933) of the Fargo Community Welfare Association, C. C. C. enrollment lists, FERA projects, sewing project report, and several welfare case reports.
