Adopt Your Block

My family recently took responsibility of our little slice of the Eastside by Adopting our Block!

The Adopt-A-Block program is offered through an organization called Looking Good Santa Barbara. LGSB is a City Council-mandated program with the goal of providing citizens with free supplies in the efforts to keep our neighborhoods graffiti and litter-free. They promote recycling practices, eliminate visual pollution and keep Santa Barbara 'looking good'! I think it should be 'lookin' good'. Either way.

They gave me a cool little trash picker-upper which my 4 year old loves (this makes the trash collecting process take a bit longer but I think the lesson is well worth it). And a white bucket that includes a safety vest, gloves, safety glasses, a bottle of graffiti remover, paint brush, trash bags and materials to invite your neighbors to join the program. Information is in English and Spanish.

To sign up, call LGSB at 805.897.2526 and request a registration form and information packet or visit their website at www.lookingoodsb.com to download the forms.

Thank you, Lookin' Good Santa Barbara! Good work!
