Current Programs:
The Tuesday night community meals at the Spirit Lake Community Center are served from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
We help stock and maintain School Clothes Closets for several area schools: Spirit Lake Elementary, Athol Elementary, John Brown Elementary, Betty Kiefer Elementary, Timberlake Junior High, Timberlake High School and Mountain View HS.
We operate a Diaper Bank for single moms and families who need diapers for their little ones. We reduce mom’s stress level by helping to keep those cute little tushes covered!
Summer Weekend Free Kids Lunches and Weekend Bags are handed out every Saturday in the Big Park in Spirit Lake from 11:30 a.m. until we run out. In 2020, the program will runs from June 6th through September 5th.
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Future Programs:
Home Repairs and Light Housework – We desire to become a resource center for members of our community who need minor home repairs and light housework done, but are unable to pay for such services. We would like to compile a list of licensed and insured local service providers who are willing to do the work at a discounted fee or free of charge. Stay tuned!
