ATLAS: Loving support with a hand up NOT out, for difficult times!
ATLAS of the Lakes Area was opened by Dave Butterworth, who had been serving on the
board at the Spencer ATLAS.
The Spencer ATLAS board began taking a look at the ATLAS mission and vision with the discussion leading to the potential goal of expanding and broadening the scope of the ministry. The goal is to reach more people and to promote helping others who find themselves with high needs. Eventually, this led to the possibility of opening a satellite office in the Lakes Area.
In January of 2019 the ATLAS of Spencer board authorized the establishment of the satellite office in the Lakes Area. The ministry was organized during a year that was slowed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Finally, in February of 2021, ATLAS of the Lakes Area received its official 501(c)3 non-profit status and The ATLAS of the Lakes office officially opened on February 4, 2021.
ATLAS of the Lakes Area is a Christian non-profit agency that is here to serve the "invisible" in the community.
