Practical Help
Life is challenging!
There are many issues that arise when moving and adapting to a new place, and over time other things come up. We can help! GSO is a non-profit ministry, and it is our joy to offer help for practical needs free of charge.
​
There are some typical services that most students can benefit from, and if there are specific and unique needs, we can try our best to help, upon request!
​
Here are some examples of how GSO can help international students!
Basic
TrANSPORTATION
We're not exactly a taxi service, but if you need to go somewhere or you're trying to find other services around town, we'd be happy to give you a ride!
Airport pick-up & Drop-off
Need a friendly face to greet you or send you off? We live quite close to the airport, and would be glad to give you a lift!
Finding Food
Students have told us, one thing they miss from home the most is the food!
​
We'll help you find the food stuffs you want,...or help you try something new!
Finding Winter Gear
Montana Winters can be long and cold, so appropriate clothing is crucial!
​
There are many options and a range of costs, so we can help find what you need according to your budget.
HAULING
International students often have a hard time furnishing dorm rooms and apartments, simply because hauling items can be difficult!
We network with volunteers who can help move stuff!
Moving
If you need help getting moving boxes, supplies, cleaning, packing, and moving from one place to another, we are here to lend a hand!
Conversation partners
If you would like an opportunity to practice your English we would love to connect with you, or find a conversation partner to help with speaking or writing.
Important errands
Taking care of important errands can be intimidating or cause anxiety.
​
Facing those challenges with a friend can be reassuring. We might be able to help, if you would like someone to accompany you.
