Community Action Center of Northfield

Each February, the American Dental Association sponsors, “Give Kids A Smile” day. We are pleased that this year the Johnson Dental Clinic, located at 505 Woodley Street in Northfield, is partipating in this event. Children 12 and under will receive a free dental exam, cleaning and minor restorative care. The event will be held on Friday, February 3. Appointments are required. Call 645-9669 to schedule an appointment for your child.

November 16 is the annual “Give to the Max Day”. You can become part of this record-breaking day of generosity and give to the Community Action Center! Go to: www.GiveMN.Razoo.com/ to donate today.

The Thanksgiving boxes will be distributed during the week of November 21. If you would like to receive this coupon, be sure to use the Food Shelf during October — only these families will be eligible!

On September 15 at 7:00 pm the Community Action Center will host its annual meeting. The meeting will be held in the Community Resource Center, Room 103.

He founded Project for Pride in Living and is currently the director of MicroGrants, a non-profit organization that connects the affluent with poor people. The organization offers low-income people grants and mentoring designed to enable them to become self-sufficient.
