Adopt-a-Block


PSA: Public Service Announcement

This is a message for local, regional, statewide and national ministries. We are looking to develop an alliance between families, faith based organizations, schools, CBO's, public officials, business owners, and various members of our communities to combat the injustices created by poverty.  We would like to discuss collaborating on comprehensive service coordination, sustainable housing options, and ways we can ALL contribute to making positive social and environmental change for people suffering through this pandemic in our communities. 

 Many individuals living in areas where poverty is high, need:
  • A safe and stable place to live
  • Legal means of financial support
  • Health, mental health, and sobriety support services and, 
  • Relationship with people who can support there success
We are proposing using an Adopt-A-Block strategy to address these needs. Programs that include (but are not limited to):
  • Community Health Classes
  • Clothing & Shoe Program
  • Prisoner Outreach
  • Employment Programs
  • Food Programs
  • Film Series
  • Furniture Bank
  • Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
  • Legal Clinics/Workshops
  • Youth Training & Development 
  • Recycling Community Dollars Campaign
We are planning an introductory event for early 2018, please contact us if you are interested in participating or would like additional information. We can be reached at 315-316-2677 or by clicking the following link Building Our Self-Sufficiency-BOSS.  We look forward to working with you.
