Letter to the Editor: Thank you to the Good Neighbor Fund

I wish to extend a sincere thank you to the Good Neighbor Fund and its generous local supporters for the 2021 grant awarded to Atlas of the Lakes Area. We are dependent upon such financial gifts and the support of individuals across the community to be able to provide assistance and mentoring help to area residents experiencing life crisis situations. We are truly grateful for community support for the ministry.
