Block Captains

Fall Cleanup In 2010

Blocks captains meet monthly prior to the PBCIP community meeting. Each of the 55 blocks in Parkside has a designated block captain, though some blocks without a captain are served by someone on a neighboring block. Not sure who your block captain is? Contact PBCIP Outreach Specialist Cornell Garnett at cgarnett@pbcip.org or (856) 964-0440.

Interested in being a block captain? PBCIP needs you!

Block captains are the link between residents and PBCIP, disseminating timely information about meetings, events or issues of concern that may arise. They also:

• troubleshoot resident problems and work with PBCIP to connect residents to the resources they need
• serve as the eyes and ears of PBCIP in the community
• meet everything from immediate and basic needs to social opportunities to leadership development

Specific activities block captains work on during the year:

• PBCIP's annual Christmas food basket drive which provides a holiday meal for 50 families who otherwise could not afford a holiday dinner
• the annual Fun Day community picnic in Farnham Park
• and median beautification projects involving neighborhood schoolchildren
