In case you missed the news, Tuesday morning there was a fire at the Lake City Community Center and we will no longer be able to use it for programming. But we are pleased to report that we are in pretty good shape, all things considered! The Lamb of God Lutheran Church has been so incredibly welcoming and has agreed to allow us to use their space for the foreseeable future. The good news is that we are only a block away from the community center and still have plenty of parking!
Starting Monday 4/24 we will be holding our usual programming 9am-3pm out of the Lamb of God Lutheran Church and will be serving to-go lunches. The print making workshop will still be held on 4/26 but will now take place at Coyote North. You can see all changes to the planned programing on our updated calendar on the right.
Please continue to check our website and social media for updates. We will continue to keep both up to date with the most recent information.
We hope to see you again soon!

Emergency Update
We have some unfortunate news to share. This morning, there was a fire at the Lake City Community Center. The response from first responders was quick and thankfully no one was hurt in the incident. However, the damage to the building is quite extensive and we will not be able to hold programming in the center for the foreseeable future. With that in mind, we will be cancelling programming for the remainder of this week. Meal deliveries will continue as scheduled. We will offer to-go meals at our usual time tomorrow (4/19) & Friday (4/21) at the Lamb of God Lutheran Church.
We know that there will likely be a lot of questions, but we unfortunately do not have many answers at this time. Our team will be busy coordinating a new location so that we can get back up and running. We are asking that you please wait for an update rather than contacting us directly so that we can focus on resuming programming as quickly as possible. Please keep an eye on this website for further updates.
