Tomorrow after work, please join Twin Cities Rotaract and Hope Community for the Step Up for Hope fundraising reception.

Hope Community is a nonprofit working as a catalyst for change, growth and safety in the Phillips neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis.

Phillips has almost 20,000 residents and a long history of minority and immigrant populations, including Native American and African American communities.

Currently, roughly 75 percent of Phillips residents are people of color; the increasingly diverse population includes many Latino and African immigrants.

The median income in the neighborhood is approximately a third of the median income for the Twin Cities.

Hope Community is building a sustainable neighborhood model through community organization, active education, leadership and affordable housing development.
