Minneapolis is providing free services ranging from mental health support to snacks and water to people affected by recent shootings on Lake Street.
The neighborhood assistance center, run in collaboration with the Family Partnership, a family support and advocacy nonprofit, opened Thursday. It is scheduled to run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, its last day, at 1527 E. Lake St. (entrance on Bloomington Avenue).
There also are informational resources and referrals for unsheltered people, human trafficking prevention resources, household safety and security information and snacks and water.
“Minneapolis is making sure every impacted neighbor has a safe place to turn for support,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a news release from the city. “The Neighborhood Assistance Center will provide immediate resources — from trauma care and victim services to health and safety support — for anyone who needs them.”
