ADOPT-A-BLOCK

Adopt-a-Block is the latest community-based effort to help make Wilmington a cleanery and more attractive City.

""Organizations sign up to clean an area of the city at least four times a year and more often if possible. Groups work directly with the Department of Public Works on collecting debris and litter gathered during Adopt-a-Block efforts. Groups are encouraged to clean up as large an area as possible depending on the number of volunteers in their organization.

Participating organizations are recognized with the placement of a grean and white Adopt-a-block sign placed in the area the group agrees to "adopt."

The Adopt-a-Block program is looking for citizen, community, or business-based organizations throughout this great City that would like to be part of an effort to clean and beautify Wilmington streets, neighborhoods and communities.

Would you like to Adopt-a-Block in your community? Download the Adopt-a-Block Information Packet and Application here.

or you can call the Office of Constituent Services at (302) 576-2489.

Keep track of your organization's Adopt-a-Block efforts.
