NeighborWorks® Rochester's 2nd Annual Pix and Mix event will be held at the Rochester Public Market on Wednesday, June 9 from 4 to 7 PM. 

 

The event will include: an exciting photo competition with prominent guest judges in which participants will submit wonderful photographs of people, places and things in Rochester, a live band performance, food and beverages provided by Public Market businesses, as well as an opportunity to shop in those businesses.

 

If your company is interested in becoming a Premier Sponsor of the event, or you are interested in submitting a photo for the competition, please contact Rachel Atwood at 325-4170, ext. 332 or e-mail ratwood@nwrochester.org for more details.

 

We hope to see you there!

Looking for a Volunteer Opportunity?

Man and Woman Participating in Healthy Blocks Survey


Our Healthy Blocks program is currently seeking volunteers to help with surveys during the months of May and June in the Swillburg neighborhood. 


There are two types of surveys:

  1. A visual survey that would require volunteers to rate houses based on their appearances.  
  2. A door-to-door survey.  These would take place during weekday evenings from 5-7:30 PM and would require volunteers to talk to residents about how they feel about their neighborhood.  
These surveys help us to show the results of our neighborhood work, and a one-hour training is required beforehand.

 

If you have an interest in volunteering for either of these survey projects, please contact Rachel Atwood at 325-4170, ext. 332 or complete a volunteer registration form.

By now, you've probably seen a lot of United Way Campaign information floating around.  But, did you know that when you give to the United Way you can designate your gift to go to NeighborWorks® Rochester? 

Just designate #1167 (NeighborWorks® Rochester)  on your United Way Donor Designation form this year.  It's that simple.
