Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Join the Kingfield Walk of Gardens on Thursday July 9

By

Plan your walking/biking route! 28 gardens will be open for public viewing, hosted by their resident, passionate gardeners this Thursday 6-8 PM. Additionally at least five musical groups will also be out on their porches participating in On Thursday We Sing, and serenading you along the route.

Donations for taking part in the event be given to The Donation Garden at MLK Park. This community garden is an important source of fresh food that is used to supplement daily meals for Aliveness Project clients living with HIV/AIDS, and also to support their food shelf. Dollars raised over what the garden needs this year to rebuild their garden beds will be donated to this important Kingfield partner. Donating is as easy as texting the words ‘Garden Tour’ to 44-321, which then sends you a reply text to click on to go to the KFNA donation page AND automatically directs your donation to this project.

Both a map and the garden descriptions are now published in the event found here: https://kingfield.org/event/kingfield-walk-of-gardens/

Let’s Get Uncomfortable; a Space to Talk About Race and Being Anti-Racist | June 28 at 1 PM in MLK Park

By

Sunday June 28, 1 PM, MLK Park (outdoors, north side of building)

Registration Required (limited to 25 participants)

Led by Danger Boat Productions, co-hosted by KFNA

More info and registration here.

Looking for a place to start? Join us on June 23 (SOLD OUT) and June 25 via Zoom at 7pm Central Time and June 28 at MLK Park (with COVID-19 precautions taken) in Minneapolis at 1pm CT for a welcoming space to talk about race and what it means to put being anti-racist into practice.

Racism is everybody’s problem. For too long, the responsibility to understand and dismantle racism has fallen on communities of color. As white people, we may have recognized the world is stacked unfairly against our BIPOC friends, but then we asked them to do all the education, footwork and problem solving on it.

That ends now. It’s well past time for white people to do more of their own learning, growing, and dismantling. We want to help. Let’s do our part. [Read more…]

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
