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. 

Minneapolis Election Judges Needed for March 3, August 11, and November 3, 2020

By

The City of Minneapolis has been working to get individuals registered as election judges so they can be trained in late January and be ready for the March 3rd Presidential Primary.

If you are interested in being an election judge register directly with the City at this link: http://vote.minneapolismn.gov/judges/APPLICATION. There you will give them your name and contact info, tell them if you want to volunteer your time or be paid ($17.15 per hour), and inform them if you want to work a full day or a half day.  The City needs people of all races, languages, political parties, and areas of the City to serve as judges so please consider signing up to work.

Remember when they ask this: How did you hear about this opportunity? Answer Kingfield Neighborhood Association–CORE and KFNA will receive a financial stipend for your service.

2020 is already roaring down our throats and we all need to be about the work of upholding fair and impartial elections—so thank you to those of you willing to accept this responsibility and fill out your form today!

KFNA Diversity and Inclusion Statement  Drafted and open for comments

By

Kingfield Neighborhood Association has been working to create a Diversity and Inclusion Statement to guide our work and assure that we are reaching out and welcoming every member of our community. The draft statement is printed here and we welcome your comments. We will use your feedback to revise the draft and present and vote on it on March 18th. Please submit your comments here: bit.ly/KFNADiversityStatement

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) is committed to being an equitable and inclusive organization that reflects the diversity and many identities in our neighborhood. We are stronger as an organization when we have a broad vision that includes diverse voices, ways of knowing, and ways of doing. We are committed to taking action to realize this vision. KFNA specifically seeks to foster the leadership and participation of people who neighborhood organizations have historically underinvested in. This includes people who rent, and people who identify as BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color), LGBTQ+, youth, and seniors. 

 

 

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!
