Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh held its first-ever Rock the Block project in April, transforming the city's Sacred Heart neighborhood. the Block event. Held in late April, the project focused on the Sacred Heart neighborhood between Knapp and Dakota streets and Fourth and Ninth avenues. Elizabeth Last, program manager for Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh, says the organization works in collaboration with Greater Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods and the City of Oshkosh. e Oshkosh program works a little differently than in the Fox Cities, in that it provides the work at no cost through grant funding. Like the Fox Cities, though, homeowners contribute time and effort to the projects. e work ranges from simple to complex. It could include power washing, lawn edging, preparation work for painting, and porch and window repairs. More involved projects included removing an unneeded wheelchair ramp and taking down awnings that were blocking the natural light in a home. About 120 volunteers pitched in. Corporations, including Oshkosh Corp., U.S. Venture and Bemis, supported the project and plan to continue to do so in the future. Last says the program helps build community and brings neighbors together. "at social connectedness is a really key part of this," she says. "e community as a whole wins because we improve living conditions for our friends and neighbors and colleagues. Families they're directly serving win because they'll be living in a better place." – John Weyenberg, executive director, Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity B I G B A R K M E D I A
