FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY

Wichita Habitat for Humanity is excited to invite the entire community to the Rock the Block Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 25, marking the progress of transformative revitalization efforts in northeast Wichita. This year’s building efforts have focused on the intensive rehabilitation of 16 homes, taking them down to the studs and rebuilding them to Habitat’s high standards.

The ribbon cutting ceremony and volunteer opportunity is proudly sponsored by the Wichita Independent Business Association and Volunteer Kansas. Coffee and community time will be open to the public at 8:30 a.m. prior to the program. The event will be held at 2601 N. Piatt, Wichita, KS 67219. Participants interested in volunteering may sign up at wichitahabitat.org/rtbpvolunteer.

To ensure the safety and accessibility of the event, parking will be available on Minnesota Street, Ash Street, and Madison Avenue. Please do not block driveways or park directly on N. Piatt Avenue.
