Fourth of July holidays. You must sign up for this in the month prior to these dates. (Ask a volunteer for a form.)
Starting with Thanksgiving 2022, we have resumed our holiday baskets,
and they will be held in our current location, Circle Pines City Hall Building, Lower Level Back Entrance, 200 Civic Heights Circle Circle Pines.
