Adopt a Block

Adopt a block. We'll knock every door.

Sponsor one block for one calendar month. We walk every home, find the elderly, disabled, and income-qualified neighbors who need repairs, and get the work done. You are acknowledged on every door hanger, on this map, and in the impact report.

Choose the calendar month you would like to adopt a block for. It applies to every block you select.

The Neighborhood Crew draws every block boundary and schedules the knock dates itself. Adopting a block is a charitable contribution; you will be checked out securely on our crew console.

What adopting a block means

A block is a walkable area of roughly 300 to 500 homes covered in one month. When you adopt one, The Neighborhood Crew door-knocks every home in that block during your calendar month. We find the elderly, disabled, and income-qualified neighbors who need repairs they cannot afford, and we complete those projects with donated contractor labor.

Your gift covers the materials, the door hangers, and the paid trades when a job needs one. One flat price: $750 per block for one calendar month, up to five blocks per checkout, renewable month to month. There are no tiers and no packages; every block is the same price.

How it works

Pick a block and a month

Choose a month on the map above, tap the block you care about, and adopt it. Checkout takes a couple of minutes.

We schedule it and knock every home

Our crew walks the whole block that month, talks with every neighbor who answers, and lines up the repairs that qualify.

You are acknowledged, then you hear how it went

Your name, business, logo, what you do, and how to reach you appear on every door hanger, on this map for your month, and in the month-end impact report.

What sponsors receive

  • Your name, business, logo, a line about what you do, and your contact info on every door hanger left in your block that month.
  • Acknowledgment on this public map for the adopted month.
  • One acknowledgment post on The Neighborhood Crew's social channels.
  • A month-end impact report: homes reached, neighbors helped, and projects completed.
  • Right of first refusal to renew the same block for the following month.

Open to any business, professional, or neighbor who cares about the street. Sponsor panels are a thank-you, so they carry who you are and how to reach you, not sales offers or calls to action.

Tax deductibility. The Neighborhood Crew is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity (EIN 42-4045039), and contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your receipt will read: "No goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution other than acknowledgment of sponsorship."
