Community Building, Parks and Environment Committee
The community building, parks and environment committee creates space for neighbors to participate in and share their community with one another. The committee works with neighbors and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board on a variety of programs to ensure a sustainable healthy environment and a clean, vital, safe, and active system of parks.
We connect East Harriet residents through a web of events and information that builds relationships and community among neighbors, including:
• Neighborhood events like KiteFest, Sale-O-Rama (garage sale), and the annual Neighborhood Block Party
• EHFNA's eNews
• www.eastharriet.org - the neighborhood's up-to-date source of information
Park and Environment programs and projects include:
• Environmental education
• Park Board and Minneapolis Public Schools liaison
• "Greening" of the neighborhood
• Dutch Elm Disease Treatment Rebate Program
• Earth Day Clean-up
• Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off
How you can be involved:
Join us for Community Building, Parks and Environment Committee meetings if you have something you’d like to discuss or learn more about. The committee generally meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm. Check back for updates as this date can change.
The next scheduled meeting Thursday, June 15, 2017 Location TBA
Contact info@eastharriet.org if you have an idea for a community building, parks or environment project or if you would like more information about the committee.

Minneapolis Toy Lending Libraryhe Minneapolis Toy Library is a mobile toy lending program which seeks to reduce waste, foster child development and build community in the Minneapolis area. This program is for families with children ages birth to 5 years or others who have a need to supply toys to children in their lives (visiting grandchildren). The library offers an opportunity for families to connect with one another through once a month lending opportunities, to support their child’s development through play while reducing their impact on the environment. We operate as a volunteer run, donation based, mobile lending library. Families can become members at one of our lending events for $20/year, borrow 5 toys at a time for 3 weeks. If you’d like more information please check out our website: mplstoylibrary.org. Here you will find a calendar that lists all our events as well.
A Minneapolis Toy Library volunteer will be at the East Harriet Neighborhood Block Party o September 26 to tell you more about their program and answer your questions. |
