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/

What is one thing you are going to do to create the more equitable and just city that we all desire?

“My commitment to a more equitable and just city is to call out casual racism in my everyday life. I am usually reluctant to respond to microaggressions, particularly when they come from people I don’t know. I’m learning that we can’t afford to let this harmful “othering” to exist in our community. I refuse to let people speak hatefully about “those people”. “

“My commitment to a more just Minneapolis is working to ensure people don’t forget the importance of racial equity and the importance of this moment in time.  To that end I plan to be on the 38th street bridge every tuesday from 4:30-5:30 until the end of this year with banners and signs keeping my own commitment right in front of me and hopefully others as well.  Please join me. ”

“I love the Census slogan this year: “Everyone Counts”. It is why I work as the director, community organizer, communications-lead, and chief cook and bottle-washer for KFNA. Every person deserves to be seen, and heard, and validated as a unique human on this strange and wonderful planet that we share. I am committed to continuing to reach out and connect people to each other and other great organizations, and work to see that no one is sitting alone, in despair and hopelessness, because every person has talents and skills to share. Helping others, specifically through volunteering, builds connections and community, bolsters self-esteem, and creates a team mentality and engaging our full community is critical to creating one Minneapolis.”
–Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director
