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 Fall Fest
• 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
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 quarterly on the second or third Thursday of the scheduled month. Check back for updates as this date can change.
Next scheduled meeting: 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.

2nd Annual East Harriet PorchFest
2nd Annual East Harriet PorchFest!
Thursday, August 30th
Come out for an evening of friendly neighbors and great music!
Notes from last year's 1st Annual PorchFest:
Facebook Event
What a fun night in the neighborhood! 13 East Harriet neighbors hosted over 26 amazing musicians providing some incredible entertainment to the neighborhood! The Warming House was the central hub of the evening while Twin Grill Food Truck served up delicious Mexican food all night.
Thanks to Brianna at The Warming House for coordinating the musicians, to the musicians for sharing their time and talent, and to the East Harriet hosts for opening up their porches and yards to neighbors and friends.

Minneapolis Toy Lending Library
he 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.
