Successful FRNNG Compost Pick Up Event on September 12th
We had a great turnout and were able to combine neighborhood greening, community connection, and fundraising into one event. The event distributed 5 yards of compost to FRNNG neighbors and raised $345 for the New Creation Baptist Food Shelf, adding a meaningful community benefit beyond compost distribution.
We are closing in on 300 volunteer hours spent in 2026 removing buckthorn and restoring the Creek woods. Only a few sessions left in the season. Please consider joining us on 10/25, 11/07, and 11/15.
Sign up here.
Only a Few Minnehaha Creek Restoration Sessions Remain

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!
