Kingfield Community Care Conversations

Meet at South Nicollet Action Center, 3537 Nicollet Ave

There is a lot to be stressed, sad, and angry about in our world right now – we need each other more than ever to connect and build community. Join Kingfield neighbors on September 20th as we head out to have deep, relational conversations around the neighborhood. We are building a team of neighbors who want to do regular outreach and community-building with neighbors over the long haul, to work on the housing, community safety, climate, and other issues that impact us every day.

Our goal is to build meaningful relationship with neighbors and to share upcoming events in the neighborhood, especially prioritizing community-building with renters. Every session includes a thorough training in deep canvassing, which is a method of conversation rooted in deep listening, and sharing relationally. For more info or to sign-up, contact KFNA Board President Katie Blanchard at .
