Johnson Chiropractic & Sports Clinic
Johnson Chiropractic and Sports Clinic was established in July
of 1993 in both Starbuck and Alexandria. Since that time, we have
enjoyed providing high-quality chiropractic care to the Minnewaska
area and surrounding communities. In addition to being a
chiropractor, Dr. Johnson was trained as a Certified Strength and
Conditioning Specialist and Certified Chiropractic Sports
Physician, and has training in spinal rehabilitation and extremity
reha-bilitation. Treatment in our office is focused on not only
relieving pain but improving function of the affected region such
as range of motion, flexibility, and strength. Home therapy such as
stretching and strengthening is an important part of the overall
treatment plan. In addition to chiropractic care, physiotherapies
such as ultrasound, electrical stimu-lation, and soft tissue
techniques may be used to help heal injured tissue, relieve pain
and restore joint function. Johnson chiropractic and sports clinic
carries a full line of generic and custom fit orthotics/arch
supports, pharmaceutical grade nutrients and protein pow-ders, and
has a well-documented, effective weight loss program. Johnson
chiropractic and sports clinic is open in Starbuck on Monday- 8am
to 5pm, Wednesday- 8am to 12pm and Friday 7:30am to 4pm. Alexandria
hours are Tuesday 8 am to 5pm and Thursday 8 am to 5
pm. We may be reached at 320-239-4848 or by visiting

Hearts and Hands Food Shelf and the Clothes Closet 206 6th Ave
NW, Glenwood, MN,
Hearts and Hands Food Shelf 2:30pm - 4:30pm, Mondays and
Wednesdays; and 4:30pm - 6:30pm, last Tuesday of the month.

A short bit in this newsletter doesnt adequately describe what
quietly goes on at the
Hearts And Hands/ Clothes Closet organization. This is busy
place!
There is always a need for these services and a short visit with
the Hearts and Hands food shelf coordinator, Darlene Christman
really illustrates the important work that is being done
here.
In 2014, approx. 65 tons of food was distributed from the food
shelf in service to 2,837 people, total. It is estimated as an
average of over 80 households a month that received as-sistance.
All participants are interviewed and pre-qualified for meeting
eligibility require-
ments. Food and other items are distributed based on a chart for
family size.
Canned, boxed, frozen, meat, dairy, and produce are typically in
stock but contingent upon
availability of product.
Businesses and residents of this area have been very generous
with donations of sup-
plies and money. Garden produce, when in season, is always
welcome!
The proceeds from sales at the Clothes Closet are used to offset
operating expenses at the
food shelf.
Hearts and Hands Food Shelf is affiliated with the North Country
Food Bank of Crookston

Editorial: Food shelves provide an important service Look around
your neighborhood and the numbers might surprise you. The food
shelf at the Rosemount Family Resource Center serves 500 people a
month. Farmingtons food shelf
serves more than 1,200 per year.
Thats a lot of need, even in communities where that need is not
always obvious. Its a de-
mand that never seems to slow down, and a service that needs
regular replenishing.
Thats what this month is about. March is Minnesota FoodShare
Month. Its an opportunity to shine a light on the needs that exist
at local food shelves, and in the communities they
serve.
People who use food shelves dont want to be there. In many cases
theyre looking for help getting through a difficult time. Sometimes
all that takes is one trip, one week where a gro-
cery bill gets removed from a larger list of concerns. In other
cases it takes more.
In all cases, though, the food and other resources a food shelf
provides can be vital in help-
ing your friends and neighbors get by.
There is need at the food shelf throughout the year, but this
month is a chance to focus on that need. Local businesses and
churches will hold food drives. Farmington High School will use its
annual Games for Change to raise awareness and collect both food
and mone-
tary donations.
This is your chance to make a difference, too. Every donation
helps.
An editorial from the Farmington Inde-
pendent that could speak for the needs
in our area as well.
March is Minnesota Food Share Month
Minnesota FoodShare is a statewide media cam-paign that raises
hunger awareness and promotes donations to local food shelves.
During the month of March, a portion of all pounds and dollars
do-
nated will be matched.

A recent participant in the SACC Building Exterior Grant Program
is the Shalom Community Lutheran Church in developing the ministry
center. The sign theme used over the rear entrance will be added to
the front of the
building in the near future.
Shalom's first worship service was Oct. 10, 2010. We moved into
the body shop in the midst of renova-tions in October 2013 and
purchased the building in
spring 2014. Pastor Becky Worner

On Wednesday afternoons we typically have about 20-24 junior
high and high school youth gather for fellowship and learning in a
program we call Soul Food, because not only are we nourishing our
souls with scripture, twice a month we cook from scratch and enjoy
home style
meals together. (We even taught lefse-making in November!)
