Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is May7th, 2022, and I got a little hot in my sweater this morning. That’s a good feeling! If things keep heating up in Minneapolis then I might get to break out short sleeved shirts before too long! This… this is what excites me these days. This is where I’m at.
My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream episodes at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com.
Today on Community Resources Minnesota - we’re sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal.
