On the day I moved to St. Cloud, MN, I observed that my new community seemed friendly and helpful to each other.

I saw a group of guys trying to get a car out of a big pile of snow for an older woman. On the other side of that same street, a man was handing some money to a homeless man. This was my first look at my new home, and it’s easy to imagine the peace that came into my mind. My feeling at that moment was indescribable.

As I look back on this memory, I feel so proud and happy to be in this community. I love my community.
