‘Good Trouble: John Lewis’ ; Free Online Film Screening

February 15, 2021 By Sarah

Hosted by MN Peacebuilding

Feb 23rd @ 7 PM

RSVP here. Event closes 24 hours before showing

 An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career.

 Viewer Warning: While the film is rated PG, note that is shows police brutality and racialized violence, which may be disturbing.

Back for Year 3, the Kingfield Sap Tap!

February 12, 2021 By Sarah

For $20, residents will get a kit that can be used to tap sap from any privately owned tree in the maple family (including box elders). Are you a repeat Tapper with your own kit? Register to participate in the boil for only $10! Register here

We have set aside two Saturdays for sap boils outdoors at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet, at which participants and other curious residents can watch the transformation of the watery liquid into a concentration of sweet syrup. The all-day boil-downs on March 13th and/or March 20th are an opportunity to bond with other neighborhood residents and learn more about how sap is turned into syrup. Depending on exactly what day the sap runs, we will host boils on one, or both, of these dates!

Register and pick up a Tree Tapping Kit from the front desk of MLK Park. (Note, trees must be larger than 10 inches in diameter). Kit includes spline(s), tubing, 5 gallon food grade collection bucket, and how-to instructions. Participants will be able to sign up for a shift of syrup making, and will get to take a jar of syrup home with them too! A program of the Kingfield Neighborhood Association and MLK Park.

Upon registration for this program, participants agree to maintain social distance (6 feet) at all times and adhere to the current Minnesota state face covering mandate. (Face covering exceptions may apply to certain MPRB activities.) Failure to comply will result in removal from the program.

For Most of Us, Home is not “Mysterious”.

February 8, 2021 By Sarah

For most of us, home is a given, something we have always had and never had to worry about.

One of our partners that KFNA is fundraising for through Kingfield Empty Bowls is Nicollet Square which is located in Kingfield Neighborhood and is a project of Beacon Interfaith Housing. Watch this short video to look inside Nicollet Square and meet Clifton, a resident in our neighborhood who lives there.

Support Nicollet Square and its’ residents by attending the Kingfield Empty Bowls (Virtual) Community Dinner & Trivia Event on Thursday February 11, 6:30-8:00 PM! RSVP here to save your household’s spot at the table for this event! Trivia will be hosted by Tane Danger and Heather Meyer, both Kingfield neighbors and members of The Theater of Public Policy. 

If you cannot attend the event you can donate directly here and put “Empty Bowls” in the dedication.

Minneapolis Public School’s Meal Box Pickup Locations Change Starting 2/8/21

All 15 sites will operate Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please note that there will be no sites with extended hours.

Eat with us! When children return to school this February, all students are invited to eat breakfast and lunch at school every day at no cost. Our meals are safe, convenient, and delicious. Learn more.
