If you've been to our Clarion campus recently, you've probably noticed some construction activity in different locations. One of those locations, our Wildflower Cafe, will be undergoing the next phase of their remodel soon.
Beginning Monday, June 22nd, the Clarion Wildflower Café and kitchen will be closed to the public until construction is complete.
Thank you in advance for your patience!

WCED Director Aaron Budweg recently met with Missy Loux to discuss the ongoing impact of the First Lutheran Food Pantry, which has expanded since its 2019 founding in Clarion to support 1,000 people monthly across four pantry locations and an emergency satellite site. By gaining a deeper understanding of the pantry's operations, volunteer network, and supply chain, Budweg is working to collaborate with Loux on identifying new funding opportunities to sustain their growth. This partnership exemplifies how working in harmony enables organizations to accomplish more for the Wright County community.
