OUR MISSION:
CLEAN AND CONNECT OUR COMMUNITY.
EMPLOY THE HOMELESS.
ONE BLOCK is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that facilitates the filling of 1,200 bags of trash every month on the Upper West Side.
We coordinate group events so neighbors can connect and clean their community. We also employ two full-time workers who were formerly homeless.
These workers clean Broadway & Amsterdam (W 70th - 90th St) four days a week.
We currently have over 2,000 local supporters. We have limited government funding, so it is only through individual donations and sponsorships
that we are able to pay for trash bags and the salaries of our
ACE (Association for Community Employment Programs for the Homeless) employees.
Our paid workers now have access to healthcare and even a 401K plan.
