38^th & 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

Organized by Incarnation Church/Sagrado de Corazon

MnDOT Virtual 35W Tour

May 8, 2020 By Sarah

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has created activities for you to share with your community as we all stay at home.

Neighbors, teachers and kids can explore the 35W@94 project corridor through a virtual self-guided tour to learn about the history of I-35W, project benefits and construction features including the huge red water storage tanks being constructed under the road. Be sure to check out the drone flight over the freeway and download the activity book! Start exploring today: Virtual Self-Guided Tour

Interpreting 35W in South Minneapolis Through Art, an online historical tour

May 5, 2020 By Sarah

View the history at “https://z.umn.edu/historyof35W“

By exploring the history of 35W in South Minneapolis this visual Story Map guides you through the city’s process of building the freeway, the disastrous effects of construction on the surrounding neighborhoods, the impacts and long term effects still felt today, and concludes by encouraging you to submit a creative response to the history. Creative responses can be a drawing, a poem, a shared personal story, or whatever you feel interested in sharing – no prior artistic experience is required and all skill levels are encouraged.

Through this project we can begin to examine the history of the built environments around us, as well as imagine not only what a freeway gives through convenience, but takes away from community and neighborhoods. This project pushes back against the idea that there was no community opposition to 35W, that no one has been impacted, and that the city’s initial assessment of “no functional neighborhood” in the freeway corridor was, and is, absolutely false.

Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood? A Kingfield Neighbor Interview Series

May 5, 2020 By Sarah

Email info@kingfield.org to get an Event Login Code or visit the event on Facebook here!

We at the Kingfield Neighborhood Association frequently boast about how talented and committed our community is, but when we began talking about all the great things that neighbors are doing, both during the current pandemic and beyond, we realized that you might not know each other as well as we know you. This online series of one-on-one interviews with neighbors is designed to help you get to know your neighbors better, understand what they do and what drives and fulfils them.

In this first episode meet Whitney Emanuel. Whitney is a single mother, business owner, Jesus lover, and a Kingfield Neighbor. She has been a financial adviser for 8 years, starting at Ameriprise and launching her own business, Strategic Visionaries, in 2016. She loves to see the transformation and liberation her clients go through by learning more about their money.

Interviewer: Jerome Rankine, Editorial Director at Pollen and a Kingfield Neighborhood Association Board Member

Still Sewing Masks? Help the Boomerang Sewists Help Local Healthcare Workers!

April 30, 2020 By Sarah

Still sewing? We are still collecting completed masks (and delivering sewing supplies!) for health care sites and essential workers. In fact since yesterday we had requests for over 1400 ADDITIONAL masks. Please help us help Hennepin Healthcare, Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, Emerge Community Services, Minneapolis Public Schools, and Presbyterian Homes & Services of Bloomington.

Clinics Sign Up Here!

If your clinic (not for individuals) needs homemade masks, please let our volunteer sewists know here: https://bit.ly/MasksforHealthClinics. We can now also accept mask orders from essential work sites including grocery stores, farmers markets, and other workplace locations that want to provide these to their employees.

Sewists Sign Up Here!

https://bit.ly/MaskPickUps

If you are sewing masks, please use this link to arrange for a volunteer to pick up your completed masks and deliver them to a clinic. Please place masks in a plastic bag and write the number of masks on the bag in Sharpie (so they don’t have to be recounted). You can also request more supplies to be dropped off.
