The Block Gives Back

🎒📚 Back 2 School Give Back! 📚🎒

The Block Gives Back is teaming up with Jack Costello Boxing Gym to host our annual Block 2 School Give Back! 🥊✨

We’ll be giving out school supplies, resources, and plenty of community love to help our youth kick off the school year strong. 💪

📍 Jack Costello Boxing Gym
🗓️ Saturday, September 6th, 2025
11 AM - 2 PM

Come through, spread the word, and let’s make sure every kid is ready to succeed this school year! 🙌

🚨 Happening TODAY at 1 PM! 🚨
We’re thrilled to welcome you back for the reopening of our shop at 6831 Torresdale Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135 — now in partnership with Northeast Together!

Come celebrate with us! There will be food, refreshments, and a chance to connect with our amazing community.

Stop by, say hello, and check out what’s new — we can’t wait to see you! 💙

BREAKING: Time is an illusion. Deadlines are canceled. Trash still exists.
Our “4 Blocks in 4 Weeks” series has officially ditched the timeline and gone open-ended all summer long! Because why limit the fun (or the responsibility)?

Each event kicks off with a street cleanup—because we believe in teaching the youth that keeping our streets clean is part of the party prep. THEN we celebrate in the afternoon with music, food, games, and all the good vibes.

Same mission, more freedom, less calendar stress. Come clean, stay for the party. See you there!

🎉✨ **A Huge Thank You from The Block Gives Back!** ✨🎉

This holiday season, we were incredibly blessed to serve 400 families with essentials and holiday cheer! Each child received 3 toys, along with soap, lotion, deodorant, socks, nail clippers, winter hats, and shoes. The joy on their faces as they took photos with The Grinch was absolutely priceless! 💚🎄

We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of our partners:
- Concilio CUA 3
- WeLovePhilly
- Safe Hub
- Impact Services
- Ride Free

A special shoutout to Top Deck Games in New Jersey for their generous toy donations and Grace World in Philly for providing clothing items. Your contributions made all the difference! 🙌

As we look forward to the new year, we invite you to join us in continuing to give back to our community. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, every bit helps us bring joy and support to even more families. ❤️

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and wish you all a Happy New Year! Let’s make 2025 a year of kindness, giving, and community spirit! 🥳✨
