More than 150 volunteers came together on May 31 for Rock the Block, a Delray Beach tradition since 1989. Hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County (HFHGPBC), the event was held in partnership with the City of Delray Beach, Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS).
Held in the Delray Beach neighborhood known as “The Set,” the event embodied unity, pride and purpose as volunteers revitalized nine homes — painting exteriors and helping homeowners maintain the value of their investment.
“With another Rock the Block complete, we have yet another example of what we can achieve when we come together,” says Renée A. Jadusingh, executive director of Delray Beach CRA.
“We are so grateful for each and every volunteer, partner and resident who supported Rock the Block. The event shows our collective dedication to improving our community and the lives of the residents in The Set.”
Each brushstroke was meant to empower residents, promote neighborhood stability and strengthen a sense of belonging.
“The Annual Rock the Block generated positive feedback among our Delray Beach residents and volunteers,” shares Terra D. Couzens, neighborhood planner and developer for the City of Delray Beach. Rock the Block continues to serve as the perfect opportunity to partner with the amazing team over at Habitat for Humanity and the CRA to provide such a genuine, lasting impact on the community. It speaks volumes and supports Habitat’s mission of bringing people together to build communities and hope.”
