For nearly 150 years, Pillsbury United Communities has worked across Minneapolis to provide everything from youth programs and employment services to food assistance and a world class theater. 

Its work is rooted in a simple idea: The people who live in the neighborhood are the ones who know how to make their lives there better. 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the new president and CEO of Pillsbury United Communities about taking the helm at a time when local communities are facing so many challenges, and how she’d like to see the organization evolve. 

Have you or your kids participated in a program run by a local community center, and what did you get out of it? What does your neighborhood need most right now? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
