Twin Cities Habitat is proud to partner with the Jordan Area Community Council to bring the 3rd Annual Jordan Week of Kindness. We're celebrating our long-standing commitment to North Minneapolis and investment in the Jordan neighborhood through our [Neighborhood Revitalization program](https://home.tchabitat.org/neighborhood-revitalization). For the past months, we have been working alongside outstanding residents and the neighborhood association to beautify this block through [home repairs](https://home.tchabitat.org/home-repair), a clean-up, and flower planting.

The event is about coming together to have fun and celebrate what we’ve accomplished as a community! This annual celebration will feature over 20 local vendors, several performers, activities for kids, and free food for all. Below is a preview of what you can expect during the celebration. Join us!

**Saturday, June 30, 2018**  
**12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  
 Irving Ave North
