Love Your Block: A Tree Grows on My Block

Love Your Block hosts a learning series and service days and provides mini-grants for residents to complete improvement projects on their block. Focus topics for Love Your Block 2023 include abandoned waste and trash, home repairs, trees and community connections.

Residents and community organizations in Central Hillside and Lincoln Park can apply for $500 mini-grants by June 1, 2023, to fund the following projects: community clean-ups, hosting a community gathering, trimming overgrown trees and bushes, planting trees, and performing small home repairs. Love Your Block staff are available to support residents both in their grant applications and throughout their mini-grant projects.
