This year’s community service award goes for a program called Nickel and Dimed in Fargo Moorhead. Some 165 people attended and were impacted.

Based on the book Nickel and Dimed: on NOT getting by in America, it highlighted one of the most pressing social issues in society today, the inequality in wealth and taking care of all citizens in society. A problem in North Dakota.

Thanks for going out on a limb and taking on this controversial topic. We need more civic education like this.
