KFNA Still seeking Block Contacts on Some Blocks!

By

KFNA needs a Block Contact willing to be our connection on every block. This person will figure out how to print and deliver written communications, as needed, and also work to collect contact information for every household on their block so no one is left out. During the COVID-19 pandemic it is critical that we can reach people quickly, and not have to rely on the internet or the US Postal Service. Sign up here if you can serve in this role for the coming year 2021: bit.ly/KingfieldBlockContact; if your block already has a contact we will connect you to them, and if not, you will serve as KFNA’s block contact!

If you signed up as a Block Contact in early 2020 to assist with sharing information regarding COVID-19 and you have moved, or need to pass the responsibility to another neighbor, please notify KFNA at info@kingfield.org.

KFNA is an organizing organization. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

By

We are not a “homeowners association” or a membership organization. Everyone in Kingfield belongs to KFNA. Our work is often low visibility, behind the scenes, and focused on supporting community members. In these uncertain times this support is critical.  Yet the reality is that the city of Minneapolis is facing significant budget pressures and KFNA’s financial support will be cut significantly over the next several years. To continue to exist in our current capacity, we need donations and engagement from you, as neighbors and stakeholders.

Please consider a financial donation to allow KFNA to continue to be an active community builder and voice at the table.  Every dollar helps. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.
