Published 10:19 am Friday, April 3, 2015

Lift One Lift All: Freeborn County Beyond Poverty, formerly known as Leaders Partnering to End Poverty, wants to invite everyone and anyone to join them from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Freeborn County Historical Museum, 1031 Bridge St. in Albert Lea.

Those attending will hear speakers Xavier Bell of Duluth Community Action, Blandin Community Leaders Program and Leaders Partnering to End Poverty alum; and Alexandra Fitzsimmons, of A Minnesota Without Poverty.

The goal is to learn what the community can do to change the systems so that more people can move out of poverty, and to work together to make the community a better place for everyone.
