BRAINERD — Crow Wing County Community Services now offers two self-serve kiosks in the community.
The kiosks are a new way to help residents apply for benefits, upload case file documentation and access community resources without the need of traveling to the county building in Brainerd.
In a news release, the county stated the kiosks will help minimize barriers and enable more residents to access Crow Wing County services in locations that are convenient to them.
Kiosks can be found at the Lakes Area Food Shelf in Pequot Lakes and City Hall in Crosby.
