Selling of hot dogs/polish

Thanks to the volunteers who helped make polish, hot dogs, coffee, and hot cocoa to warm those who came to the snowmobile show. Your help was greatly appreciated....Thanks to those who made the purchases. The money raised will be used to help provide assistance to families in need. Many of those in need include our elderly population and individuals struggling with disabilities. If you would like to help with a fundraising event, or would like to show your support,

we can use the help.

In 1999/2000 census:

15.4 % of individuals in Eveleth were below the poverty threshhold

The poverty threshold in 2000:

$8,794 for a family of 1

$11, 239 for a family of 2

$13,738 for a family of 3

Eveleth had a higher poverty rate than St. Louis County and the state of MN

Together we can make change and better our community and the lifes of those in our community, one step (or one coffee) at a time!
