Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Kingfield Empty Bowls brings together 400 neighbors for good soup and a good cause!

By

It was a joyful day to gather with neighbors, enjoy delicious local food, and raise almost $10,000 to support affordable housing residents and advocacy in our community in partnership with Beacon Interfaith Housing!  KFNA wants to thank the dozens of cheerful volunteers, a hardworking and responsible core planning team, and our very gracious and generous host, Judson Church, as well as Meals on Wheels who shares their kitchen.

Thank you also to all the amazing restaurants who cooked and baked for us!

Save the Boards is on the Move and Asking for Help

By

Dates: February 18/19 & 25/26

Contact to help!

Save the Boards is a grassroots movement with the goal of preserving and sharing the artwork created by residents on boarded storefronts in the weeks following the murder of George Floyd.  KFNA became connected to Save the Boards a number of months after the Uprising through a Kingfield youth resident, and donated the 7 plywood boards the organization had painted by local youth to them. KFNA believes in the importance of using this art as a launching point for discussions and reflections on race, equality, and systemic change, and has a partnership with Save the Boards funded by the City of Minneapolis.

Kenda Zellner-Smith is the driving force of Save the Boards. She has reached out and is asking for help to move, catalog, and sort the boards on the following dates: 2/18, 2/19, 2/25, and 2/26. Please contact her directly if you are interested in helping and to find out the location and hours of the work on these days.  She can be reached at

Stop into either Butter Bakery Café or Royal Grounds Coffee this week and drop off a Valentine’s Day card written for 1 of our 100 community’s senior citizens that have Meals on Wheels delivered to their house each day. Meals on Wheels delivers food in our community to individuals who can benefit from home-delivered meals with a focus on older adults and people with disabilities.

Don’t have an extra Valentine’s Day card lying around your house? Stop by Digs and pick one up or take one of ours from next to the basket.  Just fill it out while you enjoy a treat and warm beverage from your local coffee shop and drop it into the basket for KFNA to collect!

Got extra Valentine’s Day cards laying around your house? Bring a few extras for neighbors to write! Remember, we need 100 in total!

KFNA will collect these cards on Sunday February 12th and get them to our neighborhood Meals on Wheels coordinator to put into their Tuesday lunch box!  Visit here to learn more about who Meals on Wheels serves, how affordable it is with the price based upon the need of the individual, and how to sign up for meals or to volunteer.
