Greening Committee Projects in Full Bloom…
Continuing to Beautify and Protect Our Neighborhoods
Summer is a wonderful time to get involved and see what a difference the FRNNG Greening Committee is making in our community. Volunteers are doing great work on the Minnehaha Creek Buckthorn Removal project and the 2nd Avenue Soundwall Gardens. These will continue throughout the summer and fall. There’s always more work to do! Thanks to all our volunteers. Consider pitching in, whether one time or many. It’s good to get your hands dirty and connect with neighbors.

Please Donate to the
FRNNG Relief Program
The Field, Regina, Northrop Neighborhood (FRNNG) Group launched a new Relief Program to help neighbors in need. So far, we have awarded $15K in direct relief. We hope to continue raising funds to help during this time of great need and well into the future.
100% of funds from this fundraiser will go towards emergency relief (housing assistance, food, transportation, medical bills, etc).
Our community has really shown up for each other over these last few months, and we hope to keep the momentum going with your support.
Please give generously… we greatly appreciate it!
