This summer, join us in making a difference in the lives of those in need in our community! There are three impactful ways you can give your time and resources to support Summer at the Block this year.

Bring new backpacks and school supplies to The Block (4600 Nelson Brogdon Blvd, Ste B) from June 3 to July 12 during business hours or you can contact Symonne to coordinate alternate drop-off times.

Summer Food Program
Through the Summer Food Program, The Block delivers food to families in need every week. We invite you to volunteer as we support these families right here in our community. This year, we will have volunteers help pack the food on Wednesdays and another set of volunteers will deliver the food on Thursdays and Fridays. These are short-term commitments and you can commit to whatever time you have available to give!
Kids @ The Block Summer Camps
This summer we are taking the Kids @ The Block to camps! These will be various camps throughout the summer and we’ll need some volunteers to help. Be a part of shaping summer memories with Kids @ The Block!
