The Pucks Store is now open. Designer pucks have been donated and designed by members and groups in our community, and we are calling on you to help support Community Action-Duluth’s Circles of Support program by purchasing as many designer pucks as you can. Puck prices start at $10 with $4 shipping.  Additionally get your opportunity to buy some “Puck Bling” and sport them when you are in the community.

The Pucks Against Poverty Face Off was a great success!
It was a great event!
We had rough count of about 300 people who showed up.
The news media showed up, provided great coverage and we received pretty good supporting coverage overall.
