Jewell Welcome Bag:
Started in 2009, every Jewell business was encouraged to participate in a Welcome Bag designed for new members of our community. Anyone going to City Hall to start water or trash service will receive the Welcome Bag. Profit, non-profit, and any service organization may include promotional materials they feel will draw people to their business, church, youth program, etc. We are anxious for people new to our community to know what we have to offer.
