Calling All Volunteers to Support Kingfield’s Winter Events!

December 20, 2022 By Sarah

The Kingfield Board of Directors is working on their 2023 engagement plan and event list and while the entire calendar is not available yet, we do know that there is a commitment for hosting our traditional Winter events: Kingfield Empty Bowls and the Community Sap Tap/Pancake Breakfast.

Kingfield Empty Bowls will be held on Sunday February 12, and celebrated as part of a broader “Souper Bowl Sunday”. If you are interested in helping out at the event simply contact and you will be sent the volunteer sign-up sheet after the first of the year. Tasks involve serving soup, cutting bread, providing kitchen support, dishing up desserts, greeting neighbors, collecting donations, as well as assisting with set-up and clean-up. This event supports Nicollet Square, an affordable Kingfield housing option for youth who have been homeless or aged out of foster care, as well as KFNA’s affordable housing advocacy and educational work.

Kingfield Empty BowlsThe Community Sap Tap/Pancake Breakfast is a little harder to pin the date down on because it will happen when the sap starts flowing (some time near the end of March to the middle of April). This newer event is held in partnership with the Park Board, and is focused on teaching people how to collect and process maple sap, as well providing an incentive to gain this knowledge by serving it on the pancakes! Just email to be put in touch with the volunteer sap-tap and/or breakfast team.

Welcoming Simpson Housing Services to Lyndale Neighborhood

November 14, 2022 By Sarah

While writing this notice, carpenters and electricians and HVAC installers are buzzing about the former Zion Church building, getting it ready to welcome Simpson Housing staff and guests in early December. Before Simpson officially opens their doors, they want to invite Lyndale neighbors to come tour their new temporary space!

An Open House/House Warming date and time will be announced soon, and its timing will occur post-construction and pre-operation. If you want to receive a special invite to tour the new Simpson Housing Extended Stay Shelter which will be housed at 128 West 33rd Street simply fill out this form https://forms.office.com/r/cmpXz6YPYp or call 612.455.0841.

Like a regular house warming, there will be snacks and drinks provided, as well as a chance to talk with current volunteers and to sign up for future volunteer opportunities, including preparing and serving food to guests. We hope you will come and join Simpson Housing and the Lyndale Neighborhood Association at their Open House/House Warming Event!

–Steve Horsfield,

Executive Director, Simpson Housing Services
