Welcome to the Stevens Square Community Organization (SSCO)!

We’re neighbors just like you volunteering and serving the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood in south Minneapolis since 1975. Our work is dedicated to making our neighborhood a fun place to live, work, and play!

SSCO works to strengthen Stevens Square-Loring Heights by initiating, integrating, and implementing key priorities: Economic Development, Neighborhood Development, Community Safety, Clean Green Environment, Building Community Through the Arts & Community Involvement.

All neighbors are welcomed and encouraged to join us: participate in meetings, help plan events, join the neighborhood cleanup, go on neighborhood walks, and more!

Support our local businesses:

Donate to SSCO’s Business Support Fund!

SSCO is launching a Business Support Fund to provide grants directly to businesses in Stevens Square-Loring Heights that have been impacted by ICE and in need of financial support!

Our businesses have been seeing a sharp decrease in foot traffic and sales due to ICE operations in our city over the past few months, creating financial stress on businesses that rely on every customer to pay their rent, employees, and everyday business expenses.

Donate to our Business Support Fund by sending a check, scanning the QR code, or at bit.ly/SSCOBusinessSupport to help us reach our goal of $10,000 for our businesses!
