Thank you neighbors for Stepping forward as Block Contacts: Still Seeking a Few

By

KFNA needs a Block Contact willing to be our connection on every block. Needs like handing out a flyer or a printed communication may arise in the near future, and it is critical that we can reach people quickly, and not rely on the internet or the US Postal Service. We also need to know who to reach in case neighbor on a particular block is struggling, and who is closest to best help these individuals.

Specifically we need contacts on:

3800 block of Garfield

4400 block of Harriet

3600, 3800, 4000, 4500 blocks of Grand

3800, 4100, 4300, 4400 block of Pleasant

3700, 3800, 4100, 4400, 4500 blocks of Pillsbury

4000, 4300, 4400, 4500 blocks on Wentworth

4300, 4400 blocks of Blaisdell

3600, 3900, 4200, 4300 blocks of 1st Avenue

PLUS, almost every block on Lyndale, Stevens and Nicollet!

Dreaming of summer and Kingfield PorchFest…join our virtual Tiny Porch Concert today at 2 PM at Butter Bakery Cafe’s Facebook!

By

We are kicking off our virtual Tiny Porch Concerts today with musical and neighbor Ben Glaros Music, streaming on Facebook live from our community partner Butter Bakery Cafe!

Although we wish you could listen live, the current quarantine means you will need to log onto Butter’s Facebook page to watch the solo performance. Ben is excited to share his music with you and the cafe is still open today and can welcome four people into the shop at one time for counter service.

This is the first in a series of short concerts performed by Kingfield musicians who have performed in our annual celebration called Kingfield PorchFest, which we anticipate happening this year on June 18th. We hope you will enjoy these concerts and look forward to the day when we can gather in community again to enjoy the talents and sounds of our community. Concerts will be archived for your viewing pleasure at www.kingfield.org.

Please note: Butter Bakery Cafe has also set up a sharing library in the front vestibule of their shop. If you have extra items that neighbors may need like a roll of paper towels, a can of beans, a bottle of hand sanitizer please feel free to bring it today as you walk the neighborhood and stop into the cafe for a cookie to go.

This includes the chart below with details for all our local and loved Kingfield restaurants and cafes, including their adjusted hours, delivery and pick-up opportunities, and online gift-card purchase links.

 You can continue supporting our small business community by purchasing gift cards at our local businesses, ideally over the phone or online. It is an easy way to support them with critical cash flow during this crisis, allowing you to redeem them later when the virus spread has subsided.
