Share The Bounty With AMOS This Spring

The Food Insecurity Task Force of AMOS is starting a new program called “Share the Bounty.” As we wait for the planting season to begin, we ask that you think about sowing extra seeds or setting out extra plants in order to share the harvest with others and make the Coulee Region a healthier place.

Collection sites and distribution will be facilitated by the Hunger Task Force and WAFER (details will be released at a later date). If you’re not a gardener, you still may take part in this project by purchasing produce at the local farmer’s markets and contributing those items to the program (and more on that later, as well). Please consider sharing your bounty this year!

If you have questions about the program, please contact Sonja Simonson Schrag or Rod Tisthammer.

Mobile Meals Drivers Needed in March

OSLC is responsible for delivering hot nutritious meals to residents in our area four times a year. Our first week is coming up in March. We are currently in need of drivers (and back-up drivers) for these deliveries.

Pick-up time is 11:30 a.m. at Gundersen/Lutheran and delivery takes about one hour. You may volunteer for one day or several during that week. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to volunteer, please contact Betty Linse. This is a great way to get involved in the community!
