Elliot Park Community Aid Fund

On August 13th, 2024, a devastating fire swept through the multi-family Stadium Village Apartment building on 1501 11th Ave S. in our beloved Elliot Park neighborhood, displacing 22 households, taking the lives of two, and injuring several others. Most of the displaced residents are BIPOC and immigrant low-income families. These families lost everything, including their homes, security, and all their belongings, and need our help to rebuild their lives.

As a community, we have the power to make a real difference. Through the facilitation of Elliot Park Neighborhood Inc., and in collaboration with partners like the Red Cross and other local community organizations, the Elliot Park Community Aid Fund is here to provide mid- to long-term support for these families, ensuring they have access to essential resources like housing, food, clothing, legal and mental health services among other needs.

Your donation will directly help these families get back on their feet. Whether it's $10 or $1000, every contribution counts and brings hope to our neighbors during this challenging time. This fundraiser will continue until every resident impacted is rehoused and capable of providing for themselves. 

In addition to this Elliot Park Community Aid Fund, EPNI is also coordinating with community partners to facilitate a direct needs donation drive, accepting in-kind donations of clothing, household and personal items for the impacted families. Learn what's needed and how to donate on the EPNI website: www.elliotpark.org. Questions? Contact EPNI at hello@elliotpark.org or call/text us at (612) 234-2280.
