Neighbors for More Neighbors (N4MN) Supports CANDO

As the occupation of Minnesota by federal agents continues, Neighbors for More Neighbors believes that, at this moment, it is more important than ever to support the critical needs of the neighbors already living in our communities.

Our work of ensuring everyone in the Twin Cities and Greater MN has a secure and safe home continues, and right now, the best way we can do this is by amplifying the fundraising work of other organizations.

Instead of asking you to donate to our specific work, we are fundraising to keep folks in their homes while they continue to shelter in place - after all, Neighbors for More Neighbors envisions a future where we all find secure, affordable homes in neighborhoods we choose.

That's why we have selected Critical Rent Assistance for Central Neighborhood families serviced by the Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization (CANDO) as one of the beneficiaries of our Annual Kickoff event.

The Annual Kickoff is still happening on February 12th, 2026, to gather, connect with our community and volunteers, and learn about our work and goals for the upcoming legislative session.

If you haven't had a chance, we invite you to RSVP to the Neighbors for More Neighbors Annual Kickoff to learn more about our work and support our neighbors!

About CANDO: the Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization. 

Central is a historically Black neighborhood home to vibrant cultural and linguistic diversity, situated in the heart of South Minneapolis on the ancestral lands of the Dakhóta and Anishinaabe people. The Central neighborhood is defined by the borders of I-35W to the west, Chicago Ave to the east, Lake Street to the north and 38th Street to the south.

We connect neighbors and business owners to both resources, opportunities and one another!

Our primary bodies of work include grassroots food justice organizing with our program Plant-Grow-Share (PGS), renters rights education with HOME Line, and antiracist organizing through the South Central Minneapolis Antiracism Coalition (SMAC). 

In addition to organizing neighbors around food and antiracism, our staff work in deep partnership to help uplift resources that support the livability of our community (renters rights, affordable housing, safety, connectedness) and assist our neighbors with making their voice heard by elected officials.

We believe in uplifting our shared humanity - block by block, neighbor by neighbor.
