How to Get Involved Next Time:
The Block Blitz is an annual community event that brings together homeowners, volunteers and other community stakeholders to help repair, landscape, and paint up to 50 homes in a single day, rain or shine, usually in a city of Syracuse neighborhood at no cost to residents. Block Blitz aims to provide a spark for residents to improve neighborhood aesthetics; encourage homeowner investment; and strengthen neighborhood networks. Each year, Home HeadQuarters, along with more than 300 volunteers from area businesses, schools, churches, local government and more, paint fences, rebuild porches, plant trees, seal driveways, fix steps, plant flowers, remove brush and much more, all in the name of supporting our community and Home HeadQuarters’ affordable housing and equitable lending efforts.
CONTRIBUTE
Corporate sponsorship is critical so that we can purchase the materials and supplies necessary to meet our goal of improving 50 homes in just one day. The Annual Block Blitz is also a fundraiser to support Home HeadQuarters' programs and services. For more information, please contact Karen at (315) 474-1939 or info@homehq.org.
DONATE MATERIALS
In-kind contributions of skilled labor and materials such as paint, driveway sealer, mulch and plants as well as food & beverages for our more than 300 volunteers provide invaluable resources that allow us to provide quality home improvements and keep our volunteers happy.
VOLUNTEER
Come help us paint, landscape, and renovate and bring your co-workers or employees! Block Blitz is a great team building experience and we welcome groups! To sponsor a group of volunteers or to sign up, please contact Mary Jo or Liam at (315) 474-1939 or info@homehq.org.
