The City of Yakima is partnering with Yakima Habitat for Humanity to offer an Adopt-A-Block program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents and organizations can choose to adopt a city block as the City of Yakima identifies partner neighborhoods who wish to be adopted and receive volunteer assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information and sign-up details are available at Adopt-A-Block<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are in the initial phase of getting the program up and going,\u201d City Manager Vicki Baker said during a year-in-review presentation<\/a> to the Yakima City Council on September 9th<\/sup>. \u201cWe are looking for community members who are interested in being \u2018champions\u2019 for blocks. Those champions would be the primary coordinators and leaders of getting things going for a specific block.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker added, \u201cIt will take some time to get the program up and running. It will be a slow roll out. However, we do want to let people know the opportunity is there for them to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
