There was a day-long celebration held at Powderhorn Park in honor of Independence Day. I met these three ladies who were making the community aware of the important work being done by Community Action of Minneapolis. This organization provides programs and services for low-income residents of Minneapolis with assistance ranging from Energy Services to Children and Family Development.

As we discussed the important benefits of this organization in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood, we were listening to the sounds of Onayemi and its rhythmic African drumming on the stage behind us as the smell of families grilling burgers and sweet corn swirled around us. Fireworks at 10!

Thank you to all of the neighborhood business sponsors for helping to make this fun-filled, day-long event possible!
