Get Free Help Applying for Dakota County's Public Assistance Programs
The county has formed a partnership that allows it to offer employment and financial help, free of charge.

Dakota County is partnering with Prince of Peace Lutheran Church to offer residents free help applying for public assistance programs.
Staff and volunteers are trained to answer questions, help residents apply online and complete application forms. The support connects residents in Dakota and Scott counties to important health care, food and cash assistance programs.
Dakota County would like to encourage residents to take advantage of these services at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, located at 13901 Fairview Dr., Burnsville, 55337.
