Our employees of the month for January wanted to remain anonymous, however, we are so proud and grateful to them! Our January employees of the month have a combined experience of 30 years. One of them arrives very early to get our laundry going and has a smile all day. Our other employee is always ready to serve in the community. Thank you to all that make opportunities like this possible. If you would like to sponsor us, make a donation, or would like more information, please contact sschneider@winonaorc.org or call 507.452.1855.

Lucky to run into one of the coolest guys in Winona at Many Hands, Many Lands in the Knitting Mills. If you have some coffee lovers on your Christmas list, this is the place to shop. Unique coffee mugs, unforgettable hand-made cards, honey, nuts, chocolate and of course the best coffee in Winona- ground with an extra dose of love. Support a great cause by buying fair trade. Bonus- John always has the best stories to share too. ☕️
