East Side Neighborhood Services was established 95 years ago with the express purpose of serving the influx of Slavic immigrants to Eastside Minneapolis neighborhoods. This venerable non-profit organization continues that mission today and has expanded it to include a wide variety of services to seniors, children, families, immigrants and refugees. Their many programs include:
- Menlo Park Academy, an accredited city high school that provides education, life and work skills development, and social services for youth ages 15-20.
- Camp Bovey, a summer resident camp for boys and girls ages 8-14.
- Eastside Employment Network, with skill training classes and services for both jobseekers and prospective employers.
- Northeast Child Development Center (NECDC), comprehensive childcare and pre-kindergarten programs for children ages 6 weeks-6 years.
- Senior programs, including Employment & Community Outreach, Adult daycare, transportation services, and a Senior Center.
- East Side Thrift Store, providing free or low-cost clothing and household goods. The Thrift Store is currently seeking donations of usable winter coats (especially children’s sizes) for its Annual Coat Give-Away, which will be held on Mon, Nov. 1, at 1700 2nd St. NE.
