What: JLSPs 62nd annual Next To New Sale
Where: The Dairy Building at the Minnesota Fairgrounds Directions
When: Saturday, October 1st, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Proceeds from this years Next To New Sale will support JLSPs’ costs as well as its community initiative “Healthy Bodies, Healthy Brains.” Lack of nutrition and other factors associated with poverty are shown to retard brain development and function. The longer a child's nutritional, and in turn, educational needs go unmet, the greater the likelihood of future struggles to learn. JLSP helps to make a difference by providing meals over the weekends through our Backpack Buddies initiative, as well as hosting family nutrition nights during which kids learn to cook and families can learn inexpensive yet healthy recipes. The Next to New Sale plays an important role in ensuring the continuation of these programs and developing further new and exciting efforts.
