Rock the Block in Willingboro!
Thursday, May 1, 2025
On May 1st, Habitat for Humanity of South Central New Jersey will partner with Prosperity Home Mortgage to host a neighborhood repair and clean-up event called Rock the Block!
Rock the Block events showcase Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, which brings people together to improve the quality of life of residents in targeted neighborhoods through home repairs, community projects, and accessibility installations.
Habitat SCNJ has worked collaboratively with communities in the past like Camden, Atlantic City, Mt. Holly, Palmyra, and Hamilton to host Rock the Block and deliver repairs to local homeowners, provide access to community programs at the resource fair, and engage residents of all ages with activities. Now, we’re looking to make a big impact on just one day down the shore by repairing homes in the Hawthorne Neighborhood of Willingboro!
HOMEOWNERS
We are looking for homeowners in the Hawthorne Park Neighborhood. Please see the attached flyer for a detailed map with the boundaries of this grant.
Qualifications:
- Must own the home and live in it as your primary residence.
- Must have a valid and current homeowner’s insurance policy.
- Please note: There is no cost to participate in the event or to receive the repairs. We just ask that if able, you prepare to be on site during the day.
Contact repairs@habitatscnj.org or call 856-441-2740 for more information!
Volunteers
At Rock the Block, we anticipate 100 individuals – Prosperity employees, members of the community, and loyal Habitat volunteers – to come out and care for their neighbors. Volunteers will complete home preservation projects like clearing away debris, removing overgrown brush, mulching and landscaping, painting, mending fences, and fixing porches. No skills are necessary to lend a helping hand. Each project will be led by a Habitat staff or skilled volunteer.
BLOCK PARTY — Everyone’s Invited!
Even if they are not receiving repairs during Rock the Block, community members are encouraged to use the bulk dumpsters dispersed throughout the area for their own cleaning project and join everyone at the resource fair and Block Party!
From 3:30-6:00PM, residents can peruse tables set up by community organizations and local businesses that will provide information on resources and services. Activities for kids of all ages will be available, including rock decorating, face painting, balloon animals, food & dessert trucks and more – all free to enjoy!
