Throughout Covid and city budget cuts the priorities of the Nokomis East Neighborhood Association have been shifting. One of their main focuses is meeting food insecurities, especially in the Bossen neighborhood. With the 2020 budget cuts from the city it has become necessary for NENA to close their offices. In April Crosstown will be welcoming NENA to utilize our building for their food mission. Please make sure to say hello to Becky and Karla. How can you help the Nokomis neighborhood?
