Welcome, whether you are a newcomer or long-time resident in our area. In an effort to help people be informed and to understand how services and systems work in our community, we have created a resource guide. It includes the following information, specific to Wisconsin and Minnesota:

  • Health care
  • Workers rights
  • Driving and handing legal matters
  • Immigration system
  • Food shelf and pantries
  • Miscellaneous information

You will notice differences in the rules, services, customs, and expectations of residents between each state and between the US and your home country, if you are a newcomer. We know that it is not easy getting used to the customs and expectations of a community and hope this information guides you well. We are glad you are here and we are grateful for your contributions to our community.
