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.
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.
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.

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.

The METRO Orange Line, a 17-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) route, will connect Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, and Burnsville along Interstate 35W – passing right through Ward 11 with a stop at 46th Street. Like the A Line and C Line serving riders elsewhere in Minneapolis today, the Orange Line will provide frequent, all-day service in both directions, seven days a week. Orange Line buses will run every 10 minutes weekdays during rush hour and every 15 minutes midday, in the evenings, and on weekends.You can learn more about this new amenity for our community at upcoming virtual meetings, which will be held:
In addition, you can offer your feedback on this project by taking this 10-minute survey. To stay up to date, sign up for email updates on the Orange Line here.
Starting on Monday, February 8, food box pick-up will be available at 15 sites across Minneapolis. 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. Instead of offering separate meal and snack boxes, we will be offering one food box with a week’s worth of nutritious, convenient breakfast and lunch items.
But don’t worry – some of your favorite items from the snack boxes will continue to make appearances in our food boxes, along with school favorites, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and more! Food boxes will remain free for all youth 18 & under, and all families are welcome to participate in this program. Learn more.
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.
