AdoptOneBlock

AdoptOneBlock's mission is to empower people to take simple, consistent action to nurture cleaner and more connected communities. Our signature program, Block Ambassadors, was launched in Oct 2020 and uses a unique technology platform that allows individuals to adopt their block as a volunteer Block Ambassador. Our team delivers free cleanup supplies straight to their doorstep when they sign up and whenever they need more. We also provide opportunities to connect and build a sense of community and teamwork. As of March 2025, we have surpassed 10,000 Block Ambassadors! The Block Brigade program brings volunteers together to clean public areas needing a greater level of care. Groups are organized and led by Super Block Ambassadors. We Believe in Portland is our largest group cleanup initiative. Through two large-scale cleanup events each year teams from local businesses come together to demonstrate their commitment to a cleaner, more vibrant city. In April 2025, we had nearly 1,800 volunteers and 170 companies join us to clean over 300 blocks in downtown and northwest Portland. Learn more on our website: www.adoptoneblock.org Questions?
