Save Our Neighborhoods Group thanks volunteers who helped with Rock the Block

Bowling Green Save Our Neighborhoods Group (BG SONG) would like to extend a huge thank you to those in the community who helped make our Rock the Block project a major success! Over the two days of the event a hundred volunteers helped 17 home owners spruce up their yards and homes by trimming shrubs, raking leaves, washing windows and siding, painting, and planting shade trees and native perennial plants.

Financial support from the Bowling Green Community Foundation and thirty businesses, organizations and individuals made the project possible. BG SONG plans to continueexerting a positive influence on the city’s neighborhoods through projects like Rock The Block.

Community members who are interested in learning more about BG SONG are invited to follow us on Instagram @bgsaveourneighborhoods group and like our Facebook page, Bowling Green Save Our Neighborhoods Group

Anyone with questions or suggestions for the group may send an email to bowlinggreensong@gmail.com.

Please stop by our booth at the Bowling Green Farmers Market on June 12th from 4-7pm.

We will share information on the city’s programs to help with home repairs, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency’s programs for first time homeowners, how to report a housing or property concern in BG, renters’ rights and more. Our space will also feature a couple of family friendly activities. We’ll hope to see you there!

Again, we would like to extend our gratitude to all who helped with BG SONG’s inaugural Rock the Block event. We couldn’t have done it without you.
