Block-by-Block is a community outreach and revitalization program launched by Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry to beautify streets, improve public safety and to bring city services directly to residents in areas that have historically been overlooked. The mission is to restore a sense of local pride and ensure every neighborhood feels safe and welcoming.
Volunteers will handle physical beautification labor. This includes picking up trash, clearing weeds, trimming trees, and in some situations, hauling heavy debris. Volunteer should wear comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes and be prepared to get a little dirty. Trash bags and gloves will be provided.
Arrival and check-in time is at 8:30am at 409 E. Riverside Drive. Volunteers will sign a waiver and receive trash bags, gloves and a map showing the cleanup boundary. At 9:00am, Mayor Terry will deliver brief remarks in front of a house at 324 Cass Avenue before the structure is torn down. Volunteers will then spread out across Culver and Glenwood neighborhoods beautifying the area until 11:00am.
Block-by-Block volunteers must complete the online electronic waiver form on the City of Evansville website. Please use the following link to complete the waiver on the City of Evansville website.
