Creating the Hub will address the growing need for social services in northern Crow Wing County. The fundraising campaign is called “Hunger Free & Healthy.” Money raised will be used to expand the current food shelf building on the campus of Grace United Methodist Church in Pequot Lakes, MN. Development of the project will come at significant cost. “LAFS is an essential resource to the communities we serve, and our core program will remain operating as a food shelf,” explained LAFS Director Kathy Adams. “We are trusted. So, individuals and families are comfortable sharing information. Our bond makes us uniquely positioned to identify resources and help them overcome the barriers they face.” Full Story Emily City Council January HighlightsThe Emily City Council met for their first regular meeting of 2023 on Tuesday, January 10th in the Council Chambers at 6:00 p.m. Present were newly re-elected Mayor Tracy Jones; incumbent council members Mary Eppen and Gerhart Hanson; new council members Andrew Hemphill and Gregory Koch; and Clerk-Treasurer Cari Johnson.
