Sheridan Bill Support

Are you a Sheridan Resident and struggling with rent or bills right now? Enter this lottery by September 15th for $100: https://bit.ly/3zRtcim

Sheridan Neighborhood Organization (SNO) has $800 left from our T-shirt fundraiser to support Sheridan residents. We are giving out $100 to 8 Sheridan residents who will be selected randomly on September 15th from the pool of applicants.

Accepted applications will be notified within 2 business days of the application close date and, if randomly selected, will receive payment by September 20th via check or PayPal.

This fund is meant specifically for those who are struggling to make ends meet and is on the honor system, we will not be dictating what you use these funds for.

Other resources:

• Renter Support Fund

• Rent Help MN

• COVID-19 Resources

Lottery Drawing

The form to enter this lottery for bill support closed on September 15th, 2021 at 12pm. 15 people entered the lottery for 8 spots. We used RandomPicker to draw winners using entrant’s initials to maintain some level of anonymity. We will be reaching out to all entrants in the next two days.

The bill support fund winners are:
- LH
- THu (there were two entrants with TH initials, so both were entered with the next letter of their last name)
- CT
- AP
- MN
- ZP
- KW
- CH

If winners are unresponsive after 2 weeks or pass on the funds, we will reach out to the remaining entrants. If we are able to raise additional funds, we will also reach out to the remaining entrants. If you would like to donate on behalf of an entrant that did not receive funding, you can donate through our GiveMN page or to our Paypal with “Bill Support” in the description.

Free Vaccine Clinics

*Update 6/8: Unfortunately these vaccine clinics are CANCELLED because only 4 people made appointments- these people will be connected to other vaccine clinics. Hopefully this means that most of NE is already vaccinated! If you need a vaccination clinic still, check out the vaccine locator: https://mn.gov/covid19/vaccine/find-vaccine/locations/index.jsp

Support Network Paused

SNO has decided to pause the Sheridan Support Network for a period of re-envisioning. We have received more funding requests than we can manage and are working on a system of vetting folks to ensure that they indeed do live in Sheridan or nearby neighborhoods. We wish we could support everyone, but all the funding we are reallocating is coming from community members, so we need to be sure that we are connecting them with folks in our community who need funds, as we promised.

- If you need masks, please email us at sno@sheridanneighborhood.org and we can drop them off to you.
- If you need supplies, you can find your nearest mutual aid location here: https://twin-cities-mutual-aid.org/.
- If you need support for rent or bills, please look into the Emergency Rental Assistance program: https://www.hennepin.us/rent-help

If you are hoping to help out, we encourage you to check in with your neighbors to see if they need anything (short term or long term), and to bring donations or sign up to offer meals to your closest homeless encampment. Find encampment meal sign up links here: https://linktr.ee/sanctuarymeals.

#MaskUpSheridan

As of July 25th, 2020, per the Governor's Executive Order 20-81, people in Minnesota are required to wear a face covering in all public indoor spaces and indoor businesses, unless you are alone in the space. Additionally, workers are required to wear a face covering when working outdoors in situations where social distancing cannot be maintained.

Research has shown that use of face coverings can greatly reduce the risk of infection when combined with other prevention efforts such as social distancing and hand hygiene.

#MaskUpSheridan! Our community is counting on you 😷💕

🌟Need a mask? We have you covered. Request them here: bit.ly/2xHDjes under "Receive Support". 🌟

Request a Face Mask

Starting today, everyone in Minneapolis is required to wear a cloth face mask in places of public accommodation throughout the city. In combination with social distancing, wearing a mask reduces the likelihood of disease transmission.
