Support KFNA on Give to the Max Day...or Any Day!

Saturday, November 24th

Kingfield is full of them so we aren’t going to list them all (for fear of leaving one of them out!) So this Saturday, and all holiday season, think about supporting our many locally-owned, independently-run, one-of-a-kind businesses before you order online or visit a big box or chain store. In Kingfield you can find handcrafted gifts, handmade food, and heartfelt experiences offered by your neighborhood shops.

Live your values. Support your community. And shop local this year!

What is Neighborhoods 2020?
The Neighborhoods 2020 process was created by the City Council to look at how the City serves and supports neighborhood organizations both internally and externally via finances, City staffing, organizational/advisory board oversight, and grant-funded programs. Each piece is important for equitable and high-quality services to be provided to residents. The Neighborhoods 2020 process comprises four important parts:

• consistent funding and programming for neighborhoods and other community-based programs such as the One Minneapolis Fund and the Community Innovation Fund;
• proper sizing and oversight of these programs by an advisory body;
• a consistent citywide community engagement policy for the City of Minneapolis that incorporates the Core Principles of Community Engagement; and,
• evaluating the Neighborhood and Community Relations Department’s service delivery model and making changes if necessary.
