Uptown United hosts volunteer community walks through Uptown’s commercial corridors on Friday and Saturday evenings at 6pm until about 7:30.

We meet at Seven Points (Lake & Hennepin) and walk in small groups to create a visible, positive presence in the neighborhood. Along the way, we support local businesses -- grab a taco, pick up a coffee, stop in and say hello. The goal is to bring energy back to the streets. Volunteers are also encouraged to pick up litter as we go. Small actions add up.

Programs like this have worked in cities across the country. When people are out, engaged, and present, it helps discourage disruptive behavior and makes neighborhoods feel more welcoming.
