Safer Together 2025
Safer Together 2025 - New and Improved!
In 2023 and 2024, you and your neighbors hosted 60 block parties, with an estimated 2000 people attending! We're here to help you host a Safer Together block party, and we've gotten good at making it easy.
Just as in the last two years, we can ...
Help you with planning - we have some hints to make planning your block party easy, fun and participative.
Give you moral support - People who have hosted in the past have volunteered to be 'buddies' for people hosting now.
Help you with supplies - tents, tables, games, bouncy house, barricades.
Facilitate relations - We make it easy to get permission to close off your street and have Fire Station 22 send you a fire truck for the kids (and adults!) to enjoy.
We will bring a trained presenter from the St. Johns Cathedral Park NETs team to talk with you and your guests about staying safe and recovering quickly if there's an earthquake or other emergency. We can just about guarantee your guests will be interested!
If you have big dreams, like street painting or something else, talk to us - we have people with relevant experience who can share what they have learned.
Wait Wait - there's more! We have a projector and an outdoor screen. We can help you show movies at your block party, or - just call it a neighborhood movie night. We have a popcorn popper - you just need to have a dark enough space!
We'll support you in doing whatever you like to bring your street or block closer together, make new friends, and have a good time. Please let us know, below!
