2021 Top 10 Corporate Gifts and Employee Campaign!
Help us congratulate all our award winners for their hard work and dedication
to the 2021 campaign.
The duplicate numbers under the top 10 corporate gifts are ties.
We raised $71,000 during our annual Friends of Friends event in January! The FOF group decided to donate that money to 7 food shelves in Otter Tail County, the food shelf in the City of Wadena, and the Weekend Feeding Backpack Programs throughout Otter Tail County and the City of Wadena.
Thank you to all our donors who made this possible!

Childhood Dental Hygiene Month was in February and our Tooth Fairy has been busy!
She stopped and visited five different classrooms in Wadena-Deer Creek Public Schools. The Tooth Fairy was so busy that she had her Tooth Fairy in training assist her with five more classes in Sebeka Public Schools. She will be visiting Pelican Rapids School in April.
