Issues promoted by NUFC include, but are not limited, to 1) economic justice and anti-gentrification work by supporting existing and new small local businesses, particularly those owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Immigrants, and Woman and 2) community art, placemaking, beautification and protecting the sense of place and health of the Union Park and Hamline-Midway communities. Advisory Board members serve as unpaid volunteers.
