Volunteer, donate, and support organizations that help to rebuild Lake Street and Downtown Longfellow after the devastating destruction of Minneapolis 2020 civil unrest.
Rubble of Minnehaha Liquors, one of dozens of stores completely destroyed by fires during the second night of 2020 rioting. The store was located across the street from the Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct (this area is also known as Longfellow Down Town)
Many businesses along Lake St. and 27th Ave are charred from fire or boarded up due to windows and doors being shattered. (this building faces the Gandhi Mahal restaurant, an empty field awaiting rebuild)
