What we do
The Hamline Midway Coalition is not just a few meetings or committees, but thousands of volunteer hours and countless opportunities to pursue neighborhood empowerment.
Here are just a few examples of the sort of work we do and support in the Hamline Midway neighborhood.
In a District Council, committees are typically formed to focus on specific areas of the community’s needs, like development fundraising, or transportation. Each committee is made up of volunteers who are responsible for overseeing and implementing projects related to their designated area, reporting back to the larger board of directors on progress.
The Midway Project is an HMC sponsored group that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families in the local community. By addressing food insecurity, this neighborhood food shelf brings much-needed relief and support to those struggling to put food on the table, fostering a stronger, healthier, and more equitable community.
Bumblebees play an important role in pollinating the flowers and plants in our neighborhood. As such, it is important to support conservation efforts and practices that safeguard bumblebee populations, such as planting bee-friendly flowers and avoiding the use of harmful pesticides. Take action to protect our buzzing friends and the environment.
