Know Your Block Celebration

Omega Community Development Corporation’s Hope Zone Promise Neighborhood team hosted the “Know Your Block” Celebration. The event recognized the efforts of the Hope Zone Community Engagement workgroup, which has been connecting with families in the 17 Hope Zone neighborhoods.

Attendees enjoyed food, music, and bouncy houses while receiving essential school supplies, personal hygiene items, and feminine products to prepare for the upcoming school year.

Rachel Ward, Vice President of Omega CDC, highlighted the importance of community involvement. “We want kids excited about learning, attending school regularly, and having the resources they need to succeed. Our goal is for everyone to see themselves as active participants in their community while receiving the support they need.”

The event brought together over 140 people to celebrate, connect, and get ready for the new school year.
