PRIDE Rock the Block – Collingswood!

On June 13th, 2026, Habitat for Humanity SCNJ will host our community repair event called Rock the Block in partnership with the Borough of Collingswood. Rock the Block showcases Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, which brings people together to improve residents’ quality of life in targeted neighborhoods through home repairs, community projects, and accessibility installations.

At Rock the Block, over 100 volunteers come out to care for their neighbors – taking on home preservation projects like beautifying exteriors, painting, landscaping, and performing minor repairs on homes in West Collingswood.

Once the work is complete, community members are invited to join us for a resource fair and block party with free treats, music, and lots of fun activities!

Rock the Block delivers repairs to local homeowners, provides access to community programs at the resource fair, and engages residents of all ages with activities like bounce houses, live music, face painting, food trucks and more!

FREE HOME REPAIRS: minor, exterior repairs and preservation projects to improve and beautify the neighborhood at no cost to homeowners.
