New guidelines for free grocery vouchers at Dows Community Grocery Due to the increase in request for assistance the Dows Ministerial Association adopted new guidelines which are as follows: Vouchers will be available at the Dows Community Grocery Store go to the store and the employees will assist you in getting your groceries through the system. Food Program assistance will be $25 for first family member and $10 for each additional family member

We will ask the individual requesting assistance for a picture ID with a Dows address. If the person does not have a picture ID with Dows address, we need two items: 1. Picture ID with name.
2. A utility bill or other type of bill with their name on it and Dows address. ONLY Food & Beverage products can be purchased with this form. No Tobacco, alcohol or lottery tickets will be purchased with the Ministerial Association Food Program Funds. Note: Grocery items can only be purchased at Dows Community Grocery Store in Dows, IA

From the Korner
By Marillyn Korth A little over a week and Christmas will be here. I don’t know how it has slipped up on me, but it has. I have lots of stuff done, but lots yet to do. But I will get it done, I think. Ha! The cold doesn’t stop, but we don’t have so much snow and I can take that. I haven’t been out much until Thursday. I went to Iowa Falls and then came home. Friday, Jean came to help me clean and that is always fun. Saturday, Chardel came and we
always have a good time. She is so much help. We made some banana yogurt bread and caramels. We watched some good stuff on TV. Sunday we had joint services at Lee Center and the Perfect Pitch singing group from Iowa Falls came to share their talents with all of us. It was wonderful and we sang along on some songs, so it really was a great service. We had lunch and then Chardel and I made mice. We caught a real one Saturday night and then made some more. They are cute and edible, but when I put the eyes on them, I could hardly stand to touch then. What a wimp!! Chardel went home a little before 3, as it started to snow and she arrived home safely so it was a good weekend. Tosha’s father passed away last Monday and the funeral was Saturday. I didn’t plan to go and Till thought it was a good idea, as she thought I shouldn’t be on the road in such cold weather. She is right. They had enough to do without having to take care of me. My dear friends have to do that enough. Thank God for good friends. I have several appointments this week, so I hope it stays a little mild. Not too much news, so I will close and tell you not to be shoveling too much snow. As a friend of mine once said, “God put it there, He will take it away!” Guess it depends on how deep it is. Ha! Till next time. MK
