KFNA meets monthly and neighbors are welcome to join the conversation. Community Forum starts each meeting where you can bring up an issue or ask a question, or stay for the entire meeting to learn about neighborhood projects and work that the KFNA Board is doing in the community. This month KFNA is getting an update on the MLK Park Encampment from one of the lead volunteers supporting the unhoused residents throughout 2020.
Smaller gatherings this holiday season means less baking (like seriously, who really wants 12 dozen cookies in your house?!) But it is nice to get a taste of all the holiday favorites, so this challenging year KFNA is excited to offer a cookie swap!
Sign up here to participate by baking and exchanging cookies on SATURDAY DECEMBER 12. To make sure those homebound by COVID concerns or quarantine also get a touch of kindness at the holidays, you can also donate extra cookies and/or nominate a neighbor to receive cookies.
By registering here you are committing to the following:
1) Â Â Bring a minimum of TWO DOZEN homemade cookies, pre-packaged with six cookies per bag, on Saturday, December 12, between 10-11:30 AM to the KFNA Office at 3537 NICOLLET AVENUE. Please include at least ONE copy of the recipe with each type of cookie you bring (include a recipe attached to each bag, if you are able).
2) Â Â At drop-off you will sign-up for a pick-up time on Saturday afternoon between Noon and 2 PM. Group size will be kept small to allow for social distancing as you select your cookie packs to replace the amount you delivered! At 2:00 any remaining cookies will be taken to the Aliveness Project or will be distributed to Kingfield’s homebound neighbors!
Please be sure to wear a mask at drop-off and at pick up. If you have any questions contact KFNA at or 612.823-5980.
This project is brought to you by your Kingfield Block Contacts, working to build community and connect neighbors across the entire neighborhood. To Join the Block Contact Group just contact KFNA!

Join a conversation about the history of organizing and activism to pass “Open Housing†laws in Minnesota and the Twin Cities. These laws were aimed at preventing discrimination on the basis of race, religion, and ethnicity. We’ll examine the real estate practices and personal prejudices that made open housing laws a necessity. Hear the story of one Black family’s fight to move to Edina after being displaced by I-35W in south Minneapolis. Hennepin History Museum and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are the hosts of the program.

We meet every Tuesday on the 38th Street bridge in solidarity with the BLM movement to say Enough is Enough – not one more. Bring signs or hold some of ours – let’s commit to taking action and bringing an anti-racist lens to all of our interactions. Note time change due to daylight savings…now from 4-5 PM.

Bring your own signs, or come hold a piece of a larger banner, reminding drivers on 35W that the work of racial justice needs to continue to take place every day. This activist-action can be your weekly reminder to keep up the daily fight for a more just and equitable society.
Note to attendees: Wear more clothing than this photo depicts.
