The Community Connections Conference is an annual free event that connects residents of Minneapolis, community groups, neighborhoods and local government. Get involved in a future Community Connections Conference by exhibiting, leading a breakout session, being a community partner organization, being a conference partner or volunteering. The conference offers a day of connecting, sharing and learning about all the ways to be involved in the local community. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet the people behind important City services, community groups and other institutions. The conference is free and open to everyone, and Metro Transit will also offer free rides to the Convention Center.
Neighborhood Place is a partnership of Louisville Metro agencies and community residents who have come together to deliver services in a new way. The approach requires a unified action plan among different governments, agencies and neighborhood residents. Because agencies are not competing with one another, they are in a position to maximize every resource available to them. The most significant benefit is to the families Neighborhood Place serves. Neighborhood Place works with communities to provide blended and accessible health, education, employment and human services that support children and families in their progress toward self-sufficiency.
If you talk with seniors who lived in South Atlanta their whole life, you’ll hear stories of a time when 4, yes four, groceries stores served the community of South Atlanta. One only had to walk a few blocks to get the food they needed to survive. Fast forward a few decades and the stores of yesteryear are gone. Small grocery stores were replaced by supermarkets across the county. But too often these new supermarkets were located miles from neighborhoods like South Atlanta. We knew by working in South Atlanta since 2001 that access to food was a huge issue. We believe that solving the issue of food access for South Atlantans is critical to returning health and vitality to our community. And so, we started our journey of opening the Carver Neighborhood Market. We’re committed to local! Thanks to support from Common Market & Food Well Alliance, we are able to offer quality and affordable local produce options each season.
