January 28-February 5, 2023

There are 3 Goals for Poverty Reduction Week:

1. Raise awareness of the importance of coming together as a community to work towards Reducing Poverty

2. Help raise funds for 6:8's Circles Sauk Prairie Program.

3. Increase local business by getting folks to support local businesses. (We believe we really can't sustainably Reduce Poverty without Strong Businesses.)

The Week is kicked off on Saturday, Jan 28 with Schoepp's Crystal Lake Fisheree and culminates on Sunday, Feb 5 with the SOUPerBowl . And all week long there will be many different businesses and organizations participating with deals and incentives to encourage local business and help raise funds for the Circles Program.
