Message from the President, Anthony Wagner: July 2009


As summer wears on in Minneapolis and greatness of this city emerges, we can all see the impact Pillsbury United Communities youth participants have on this city.

This summer, youth from Brian Coyle Center and Waite House have collaborated with Hope Community on a Summer Mural project. The two murals created add beauty and meaning to the Phillips and Cedar-Riverside communities. One of these murals is recently completed, and I invite you all to take a drive to Cedar-Riverside to view a work of art examining the issues of capitalism and power, equal access to healthy food and several other topics selected and designed by our youth participants.

The mural completed in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood can be seen at the Southwest corner of 13th Avenue South and 29th Street East at the Fabulous Catering Building. Stop by now to admire how our youth are working to enhance Minneapolis.

Of course, you can be instrumental in providing Pillsbury United Communities the resources we need to complete projects like the murals in Phillips and Cedar-Riverside. To donate to Pillsbury United Communities, click here.

Sincerely,




Tony Wagner, President
Pillsbury United Communities
