The preparations for this year's event are in full swing! 2007 promises to be an even bigger and better event and we hope that you will join us for the 13th Annual Adopt-A-Block!

This year's event, once again supported by our major event sponsor, Union Bank of California, is scheduled for Saturday, May 19, from 8:00 am to 12 noon! Adopt-A-Block benefits the local community and supports Second Chance by raising essential resources for programs and services that help the homeless and unemployed with jobs, housing and life skills.

The centerpiece of Adopt-A-Block 2007 will be a large-scale Job and Resource Fair. Employers from throughout the region will share information about job opportunities with members of the community. Second Chance is leveraging our existing relationships with more than 150 regional employers to ensure a broad and diverse representation of employment opportunities at the Job Fair.

Adopt-A-Block is also gathering volunteers to work in teams assigned to beautification projects in the neighborhood surrounding our headquarters in Encanto.
