The Adopt-A-Block Guidebook sends a message that we care about you, your family and children. When people get connected, they can build relationships and trust. Your group, an individual, or organization can help any community stay safe and secure to help create a healthy environment for everyone. "I would like to express my gratitude for the adopt-a-block strategy you promote. Your work has been a great foundation for the efforts we have begun here. It is one piece to this puzzle, and it serves as a tool for progress. Now my task at hand is to get the job done." Michael O. Adekunle - Pinellas County Urban League, St. Petersburg, FL "Here at last is a down to earth, do it yourself guide to community organizing. The instructions are simple but powerfully effective and accessible to all communities." Dr. Kimberly Duir - Family & Community Medicine - University of California, SF & UC Davis
