HELP US KEEP THIS MEANINGFUL WORK ALIVE IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS.

Since the 1980’s, the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization (CNO) works in partnership with community based organizations across Minneapolis to improve the livability, safety, and belonging of our residents. CNO organizes meaningful events for our residents to deepen neighborhood connection, joy, and power. We have offered homeownership workshops for people interested in owning homes, work with renters support groups, supported neighbors in starting seeds, and created a free resource fair. CNO also assists state, city, and organizational outreach to increase diverse public participation. We do this by engaging historically forgotten residents meaningfully and effectively on policies and programs that impact them.

EMPOWER COMMUNITY WELLBEING.

CNO is responsible for organizing one of the finest (and oldest) farmers markets in Minneapolis, the Midtown Farmers Market, which was the first farmers market in the state to accept EBT in 2003. The Midtown Farmers Market aims to create a vibrant forum in South Minneapolis that connects community residents and nearby rural food producers in a mutually beneficial economic and cultural exchange. We envision a community-based food system that assures equitable access to healthy, locally produced food, supports reinvestment in the community, and protects the long-term viability of our foodshed.

Mission Statement: We, the Corcoran residents in all our diversity, will strive to strengthen, improve and protect the unique character, livability, and social fabric of our neighborhood. We endeavor to encourage and empower all residents, business and property owners to unite in addressing our common issues.

Consider donating to our neighborhood organization to empower community wellbeing through meaningful programs, deepen community care in our neighborhood and beyond, and provide critical resources and information to those who need it.
