The Center gets creative to meet the needs of its members “We're doing what we can,” The Center executive director said. “We've gotten a little creative with how we do some stuff. I think that's the way it's going to be for a while yet. To be creative, do what you can and be supportive ... We’re trying to get people beyond thinking about how bad this all is and to think about how we can turn some things around and use it as a positive.” 6:00 am, Mar. 17, 2021 × Volunteer Tina Jay delivers three boxes of fresh doughnuts to a waiting line of cars Thursday, March 4, at The Center in Brainerd. It has been a year since the nonprofit was confronted with the potential of losing one of their main sources of funds from the sale of doughnuts to the public on Thursdays.
