GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity CEO Jessica Diederich, President of the Neighborhood Association for Fisk Addition Anna Kolb and Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich gathered on Tuesday to announce the dates for Rock the Block 2025.
The Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity’s Rock the Block 2025 is set for September 25-27, as volunteers are invited to join forces for good, rebuilding and revitalizing neighborhoods.
Last year was the inaugural year for Rock the Block, as over two dozen homeowners in De Pere to help revitalize homes. Diederich said that the impact was more than just physical.
“Last year, over 30 homeowners participated in revitalization efforts transforming their homes and strengthening their neighborhoods,” Diederich said. “Beyond the physical repairs and improvements, the most profound impact was how the program brought people together.”
From yard maintenance to exterior home repairs, Rock the Block is designed to ‘elevate the community with well-maintained neighborhoods,’ the official Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity website says.
“We’ve been really excited about bringing Habitat [for Humanity] and Rock the Block to the city of Green Bay,” Mayor Genrich said. “The city of Green Bay and Habitat for Humanity have been partnering for decades, but with each year, it becomes a stronger and more meaningful partnerhsip.”
There are numerous opportunities for volunteers to take part in when Rock the Block kicks off:
Family Radio Network launches Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive to aid Wisconsin crisis agencies
- Exterior home repairs
- Painting
- Providing meals
- Landscaping
- Modify and construct ramps for those with disabilities
- Cleanup and setup logistics
