Clean the Block Program

We invite you to join the 4th Ward Clean The Block Initiative! By participating in our initiative, you become an essential part of building a cleaner and healthier community for everyone. With this program, you'll bring positive change to your block by gathering dedicated groups of individuals. To qualify for a block cleaning, rally at least five other volunteers in your area who are committed to helping clean up. Once you've assembled your team, fill out our form to get the cleanup process started. We receive enough volunteers for a block, my office will supply the gloves, garbage bags, and more to clean the block in partnership with the neighbors. From there, we'll contact you for further updates and logistics on your block clean-up.

Friends for Seniors Program

We invite you to join the 4th Ward Friends for Seniors initiative. Your assistance is crucial in helping our beloved elders who are seeking our assistance. Through the Friends for Seniors program, seniors from the 4th Ward will be matched with volunteers for a range of services, including shoveling sidewalks, picking up prescriptions, assisting with technology and if folks don't have the time but are able to donate essential household items, we can also pair you with seniors just looking for simple household products. Together, we can make our seniors feel loved and seen.

Volunteers:
If you're interested in assisting, please fill out the form below. You will be paired with a senior based on the assistance you can provide with tasks such as shoveling, leaf-raking, technological assistance, grocery and/or medicine pickup, and providing household essentials.

Seniors:
Please complete the form and inform us of your needs. Communicate specific services you require assistance with. Friends for Seniors is a social, neighborly community fellowship aiming to build companionship in our 4th Ward community. We appreciate the generosity of all participants.
