Litchfield Community Education & Recreation receives donations from generous individuals and businesses in our community to provide scholarships for youth activities, helping to offset the cost. Scholarships are based on income eligibility. We use the same guidelines as the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Free and Reduced rate eligibility is based on family income requirements set by the state of Minnesota in relation to national poverty guidelines. As you can imagine, families that are strained financially, eliminate items like recreation and enrichment opportunities that are non-essential. Funds remain in place until all dollars are utilized. Contact our office for more information and to determine eligibility. Listen to KLFD 95.9 FM & 1410 AM radio regarding activity changes, postponements or cancelations. When looking for activity information, call Litchfield Community Education & Recreation, not KLFD. Activity cancelations or postponements will be posted on our Facebook page. When
