Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association

The Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association (LHENA) is a volunteer-led nonprofit that serves the nearly 7,000 residents, property owners, and numerous businesses of "The Wedge" neighborhood in Minneapolis. We exist to defend and expand the health of the neighborhood, and to secure a future for the neighborhood that reflects our highest ideals of community.

Our mission: to exhibit and encourage neighborhood leadership and participation from all community members, provide a forum for community participation, and to promote a vision of the neighborhood.  

Your donations are critical to the work we do!

2018-19 Highlights:

• Get Out The Vote campaign, which helped our neighborhood achieve an 88% voter turnout
• Provided organics recycling options for renters, many of whom do not have access to the City's organics program. To date, our community organics recycling program has over 1,000 participants and spans multiple neighborhoods
• Helped launch the Minneapolis Solar Co-op, where property owners received discounted solar panel installation. Over 30 homes in our area are now receiving their energy from solar
• Hosted several neighborhood cleanups, which resulted in removing hundreds of pounds of trash and recyclables from our streets, parks, and beaches
• Hosted community-bonding events such as our community pot lucks, ice cream social, renters socials, holiday parties, 3v3 basketball tournament,  and our Annual Meeting
• Offered several public educational workshops, such as Bystander Intervention training, Safe Bars training, and the Mapping Prejudice Project
• Facilitated numerous engagement opportunities for Wedge residents to interface with their City & County government, Parks Department, and Police Department
• Awarded tens of thousands of dollars to our neighborhood K-8 school to support youth programming and experiential learning opportunities.
