Grocery Distribution Event for All Households In-Need

By

38th & Pleasant (SW corner), Sunday May 17th, 10:30 AM- 12:30 PM

If you are experiencing, or anticipating, a shortage of grocery staples in the coming week, please know you are invited to participate in the Incarnation/Sagrado de Corazon Grocery Distribution Event this coming Sunday. Intended for low-income households, or those that have difficulties accessing food, there is no cost to participate in this event. Enough groceries will be available to provide food-security for the coming week to 1100 families.

Participants are asked to arrive by car, if possible. Four lanes will be formed and be directed to enter the parking lot from Pleasant Avenue. Boxes of groceries will be placed in your car by volunteers. Each box contains enough calories of food to feed a family of four for an entire week. Much of the food is dried or canned so will be shelf-stable.

Please know that you are welcome to share this information with others in our broader community. Zip codes will be collected at the event to allow for increased food distribution at this location in the coming weeks.

If you are interested in supporting this outreach you can make direct financial donations to the Incarnation COVID-19 Food Shelf at this link: http://bit.ly/IncarnationFoodShelf

KFNA thanks Lisa & Scott, outgoing longtime board members

By

With KFNA’s Annual Meeting and Celebration canceled we will miss the opportunity to publicly thank two dedicated members of the KFNA Board of Directors, Lisa Skzeczkoski-Bzdusek and Scott Mueller.  Both of these individuals have reached their term limits for serving with KFNA, Lisa with 7 years and Scott with 8.

Lisa has served as Board Secretary for years, an often thankless job that is critical to the functioning and historical knowledge of an organization. She is a champion or planning Family Engagement events and often volunteers at them alongside her children.

Scott’s interest and expertise on the KFNA Board has been in creative engagement, both on the ground and online. He has helped conceptualize and organize the So Alive dance parties benefiting The Aliveness Project and Get Out the Vote Polling Parties and yardsign campaigns.

KFNA thanks them for their years of service and is glad they will continue to be involved in the community on a project level. Acknowledging that they have big shoes to fill, we at KFNA also ask that all neighbors take the time to vote for representatives on the 2020-2021 KFNA Board of Directors. Please review all 8 candidate profiles for the KFNA Board of Directors Election 2020 and VOTE for up to six of them online! https://kingfield.org/board/

 

Super Tuesday was Nothing Short of Super, in Kingfield!

By

MLK Park was busy all day Super Tuesday—almost 3000 Kingfield neighbors cast a vote in person at the presidential primary! Even more exciting, 203 new voters to the precints registered and voted. Welcome to Kingfield, New Neighbors!

1334 neighbors voted in 8-6 (north of 40th Street) and 1651 neighbors voted in 8-7 (south of 40th Street). Plus, hundreds voted early/absentee. In fact, Kingfield precincts both rallied a 60.3% turnout, compared to the national average of 28.5%.

We hope that you stopped by one of KFNA’s polling party tents for refreshments and to say hello. A huge thanks to our coffee and treats donors Butter Bakery Café, Curran’s Restaurant, Five Watt Coffee, The Lowbrow and Royal Grounds Coffee. Also, dozens of neighbors baked treats, brought firewood, staffed the tents and served as crossing guards at 41st Street.

We’ll be again hosting a polling party when we vote next at MLK Park on August 11th  (state primary). We look forward to seeing you again to cast your votes!
