Donations

Did you know that Sheridan Neighborhood Organization is a non-profit that runs on donations and funding from the city? Did you also know that the city has greatly reduced its funding for neighborhood organizations?

Have you seen our new donation stickers at Curiosity NE Minneapolis, Dangerous Man Brewing and Nixta? We have began partnering with local businesses to start generating local contributions to SNO. Be sure to stop by these local businesses, shop local and support SNO!

Your donation allows us to expand our ability to provide accessible and relevant activities and services to our neighbors in Sheridan.

We also have a GIVEMN account.

Thanks for your continued support!

Aid for Ukraine

As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues, a humanitarian crisis is unfolding that is turning millions of people into refugees, many of them children.

Here are some resources to donate to the relief efforts for the Ukraine:

  • Ukrainian American Community Center

    The UACC, a Twin Cities organization founded by Ukrainian immigrants in 1946, has curated a list of links where you can donate to support Ukrainian soldiers, hospital workers, refugees and children.

    301 NE Main St, Minneapolis, MN 55413

  • International Red Cross

  • UN Refugee Agency provides life-saving protection for families forced to flee their homes in Ukraine.

  • Ukraine Ministry of Defense: Funds will be used for humanitarian support for Ukraine's armed forces that includes logistical and medical support. Money will go directly to the agency's bank account. For more information go to ukraine.ua.

  • Medical supplies: Razom for Ukraine provides tactical training and medical supplies. In an update, the organization said it is purchasing supplies from the United States and Europe because Ukrainian suppliers ran out of gear and medical supplies. For more information go to razomforukraine.org.

  • United Help Ukraine is providing lifesaving first-aid kits to the front lines. The organization also helps the families of those wounded or killed in war and gives support to displaced people from Crimea and eastern Ukraine. For more information go to unitedhelpukraine.org.

  • Sunflower of Peace is raising funds for first-aid medical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the front lines. Each backpack has the ability to save up to 10 lives, according to the organization. For more information go to facebook.com/sunflowerofpeace.

  • Ukrainian Red Cross Society: Volunteers and staff provide first aid in areas where medical access is limited. Funds will be used to support those in need, blood collection, mobilization of volunteers and resources and emergency activities. For more information go to redcross.org.ua/en.

  • Help for children: UNICEF is ensuring Ukrainian children have access to safe water, nutrition, health care, education and protection during the invasion. For more information go to unicefusa.org/helpukraine.

Mask Mandate Lifted

Minneapolis and St. Paul lifted their indoor mask mandates Thursday, February 24.

Both mayors will continue to require face coverings in buildings owned or operated by the cities. Businesses can implement their own rules, and the mayors in both cities said they are still encouraging people to use masks.




Updated hours for City’s Behavioral Crisis Response teams

The City’s Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR) teams are now operating 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday. The teams are part of a pilot project led by the City’s Office of Performance and Innovation with Canopy Roots serving as the provider.

The teams launched Dec. 13, 2021 as a new first response that provides crisis intervention and connection to support services. They initially operated Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to midnight.

Two mobile units operate throughout Minneapolis. Each has a team of two behavioral health responders and outreach supplies, such as water, socks, snacks and toiletries. Minneapolis 911 dispatches the responders. The teams can’t be called directly by residents.

The response teams are an alternative to police response. The Minneapolis Police Department will only be on scene if dispatch determines the need to clear the scene first or the response teams request assistance to complete their work.

People having a behavioral crisis or reporting one should continue to call 911 for help. 911 dispatchers will gather information and determine if the incident is eligible for a mobile behavioral health team response. The teams will not respond to incidents involving firearms or violent behavior. MPD can request the assistance of the Behavioral Crisis Response Teams to complete their work as well.

Minneapolis Lifts Vaccine Mandate

Effective immediately, the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are rescinding emergency regulations requiring people entering food and drink establishments to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test. The end of the mandate comes as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are trending downward.

Businesses who wish to continue with their own vaccine or testing requirements may continue to do so.

Mask mandates for city-licensed businesses will stay in place for now.

Minneapolis Suspends No Knock Warrants after Amir Locke Killed

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has imposed a moratorium on both the request and execution of no-knock warrants in the City of Minneapolis after extensive protesting.

Minneapolis city leaders want Mayor Jacob Frey to end the use of no-knock warrants, not just put them on pause.

The mayor on Friday announced a “moratorium” on the practice following the police killing of Amir Locke, 22, during a raid last week. The hold on no-knock warrants stays in place while the city, Minneapolis Police Department leaders, and outside experts requested by the city examine how the serving of warrants should be changed.
