Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Reminder on Thursday 1|23: Open House for 210 W 46th St

By

Thursday  January 23, 4-6 PM, 210 West 46th Street

In August 2017, the City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT) acquired 210 West 46th Street. The foreclosed property had been vacant for several months; however, the CLCLT saw the opportunity to create, in partnership with Kingfield Neighborhood Association, a long-term affordable home in the southwest area of Minneapolis, which is increasingly difficult to achieve. Through the CLCLT, the home will be sold to an owner-occupant earning 80% or less of Area Median Income and will remain affordable long-term through the community land trust resale process.

Please join us at the open house on Thursday, January 23 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. 

7th Annual Holiday Sing and Play-Along in Kingfield!

By

Sunday, December 8, 3:00 to 4:30 PM
at Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 4101 Harriet Ave

Also COME EARLY at 2:45 to hear the special gathering music by the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra’s SUPER SAX ENSEMBLE.

Looking to meet your neighbors and perhaps build new connections? Or maybe just a chance to let your holiday spirits soar? Just want to do “something fun” with no tedious prep? Want to recall old holiday memories or create new ones? How about the simple joy of making music with your voice or instruments and with your neighbors?

Then celebrate the music of the holidays. We’ll have songbooks and simple instrumental books and small percussion instruments. The party is free and so are the cookies and everyone is welcome. Still, we’ll happily accept donations for YOUTHLINK (www.youthlinkmn.org) our local friends who provide services to homeless youth.

So bring your instrument, your voice, your neighbors for this annual tradition in the beautiful sanctuary of historic Judson Church www.judsonchurhc.org 612-822-0649.

Dear Kingfield, how do we love you? Let us count the ways!—

It’s Give to Max Day Thursday November 14, so we Ask that You Consider Donating to KFNA, Your Most Local Nonprofit!

There are so many things to love about Kingfield…a great park, a hopping weekly market, delicious homegrown food cooked up by local restaurant owners, plus (and here is where KFNA comes in!) a jumble of engaging and creative events, meetings, and activities designed to keep you informed and get you engaged with your community.

 

And this “community” isn’t something that just happens, it is something that Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA), your local nonprofit, works really hard to create. Why? Because we believe that now, more than ever, taking time to grow connections and foster community can make a foundational change to not only our neighborhood but also in our city and country.  Also, by building a welcoming, inclusive, open and caring community we will have a positive impact on our current and future neighbors.

Learn more about what KFNA does and consider making a donation to your local nonprofit organization here.  Thank you!

Helping Panhandlers and Homeless Persons – 2019 Update

By

Have you ever wondered what you can do to help someone that is panhandling? Who should you call if you are worried about someone sleeping in a car? When the temperature plummets and winter arrives, or in the heat of the summer when temperatures soar, who can people experiencing homelessness turn to when they need help finding a safe place to stay? Call The Outreach Team!

The St. Stephen’s Street Outreach Team helps people experiencing homelessness find the housing and services they need to end their homelessness and improve their lives. They serve people experiencing homelessness who sleep outside, in their cars, abandoned buildings, and in other places not meant for human habitation. They also provide drop-in hours for clients Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 11am. Teams of two canvass the streets from 9am to 9pm Tuesday through Friday and Monday and Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The Team connects people to available rental housing, supportive housing, community resources, emergency shelters, drop-in centers, food shelves, and meal sites. For those that who cannot find suitable shelter, St. Stephen’s Human Services provides emergency gear, builds their trust by checking on their welfare, and helps them to find safe housing and the services needed to stay in their housing.

What can you do if you are worried about someone who may be homeless or is panhandling and they approach you?
Acknowledge the person (smile, nod, say hello, or wish them the best).
If you are comfortable speaking to them, give them information about the Street Outreach Team.
Call the Outreach Team and leave a message anytime at 612-879-7624 (Put this number in your cell phone!)
The Team is available Tuesday-Friday: 9am-9pm, and Monday & Saturday: 9am-5pm
Assess safety of the situation: Is this person an immediate danger to themselves or others? If so, call 911 immediately.
