Save the date!!!

We understands that many of the root causes of violence stem from not having one's needs met combined with systemic oppression and trauma, we will be prioritizing resource distribution, handing out educational materials on city services as well as providing hands on workshops. All workshops will be taking place in the second floor conference room of 200 Henry Johnson Blvd with sign up sheets for each one hour time slot. Various nonprofit organizations and other City Departments will also be participating as vendors.

We invite all of our volunteers, partners, and other Love Your Block affiliates to attend this Block Party to help spread awareness, celebrate community, and pick up some free resources.
