Hamline Midway Coalition

It doesn't get more local than your district council. We are working on projects in your back yard, or front yard (literally!).

Building a parklet as a traffic calming measure on busy streets in our neighborhood? Or do you want HMC's help in leading the change that you want to see in our neighborhood?

Hamline Midway Coalition (HMC) is an action-oriented, neighborhood-based organization that develops and supports resident-led initiatives.

What does the Hamline Midway Coalition Do?

HMC is your district council! HMC creates opportunities for residents within our district boundaries. Our goal is to be focused on what is taking place in our neighborhood, and to work with one another alongside city government to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood. We are the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to ensuring the Midway is a great place to live, work, and play. Make a donation to HMC if you want to make a difference in your neighborhood!

More about Hamline Midway Coalition's work:

Our Environment Committee is planting FREE trees in neighborhood yards.

In partnership with Frogtown Green, establishing The Bee Line, a 2.25-mile planted corridor along a transitway already inhabited by Rusty Patched Bumblebees.

We are working to transition the land within the cloverleaf intersection of Snelling Ave and Pierce Butler Route into a more natural habitat. Through planting, weeding, and seeding plants native to Minnesota, Pierce Butler Meadow can support local wildlife, collect street runoff and more. 

We provide advisory recommendations to the city as to how local government could foster physical, economic, and social development in our community.

We support resident-led projects such as the Midway Project, a free, weekly food and supplies distributions aimed at providing essentials to community members in need.

Our volunteers organize trash clean up events throughout the year.

We identify neighborhood needs, and initiate community programs and projects.

We serve as the neighborhood's source of information about city programs, policies and issues.

We develop a collective neighborhood plan. 

We work with other district councils to collaborate on citywide issues.

We don't do any of our work alone! Community engagement and involvement brings about progress, change, and sustainable solutions to our neighborhood's toughest issues and challenges. Hamline Midway is a forward-thinking community where neighbors are connected and engaged, businesses are locally owned and community-oriented, and there is a prevailing sense of place and belonging. Donations from residents and local businesses play an important role in determining the scope and focus of our work. The more you give, the more we can do to benefit our community. We hope you will consider a generous donation to our work and your community.
