Celebrate Community at the 4th Annual Building Up the Block Party!
Hosted by Yashar’el Empowerment Foundation, this powerful, family-friendly event is all about inspiring, educating, and equipping “The Block” with the tools needed to achieve homeownership, build generational wealth, and strengthen our neighborhoods.

This is a FREE EVENT open to the public — and it’s more than a block party, it’s a movement.

Fun for the Kids – Activities and a safe space for children to play.

40+ Local Vendors – Including:

  • Food Vendors (authentic flavors and local favorites)
  • Health & Wellness Experts
  • Jewelry, fashion, and more small businesses
  • Free Health Screenings
  • Youth and Community Services

💡 Why It Matters

Building Up the Block Party is more than food and fun — it’s about changing lives.

Together, we’re empowering the community to break barriers and build legacies.
