Melrose Area Women of Today continue serving families in need BY CAROL MOORMAN STAFF WRITER
COVID 19 has not stopped the Melrose Area Women of Today from continuing to serve the community and families in need. The WOT just concluded a project delivering blankets to the Anna Marie’s Shelter and Alliance in St. Cloud. This shelter provides emergency 24hour shelter and services to battered women and their children. The WOT blankets will hopefully give warmth and be a day brightener for these families in need.
