WHO WE ARE
History
Seacoast Adopt-A-Block was founded in the spring of 2005 with the hope of
building meaningful relationships within our community, the Portsmouth-Seacoast
Area.
We felt that there needed to be unity within our community when it came to
serving the needs of the elderly, the widowed, the disabled, and those who could
not help themselves.
Vision
Our vision was to never do this for money or recognition but to get to know
our neighbors and help make their lives a little easier. That is what being a
community is all about. We all want to see the City of Portsmouth become a
better place.
What We Do?
Adopt-A-Block is the program whereby we help people by providing free labor
for things needed around the home.
While our primary help goes to the elderly, the disabled, the widowed and
single parent homes; the services of Adopt-A-Block are here to help people any
way we can.
Over the past several years our volunteers have painted, raked, shoveled,
trimmed bushes, cut down trees, cleaned gutters, mowed grass, planted flowers,
cleaned houses, grocery shopped, delivered gifts, made crafts, sang Christmas
carols, moved furniture, delivered food and medicine, provided bedding &
clothing, cleaned up the city streets, helped in our city housing projects, and
many other countless projects.
Who Qualifies?
We exist to serve our fellow man and to help those who cannot help
themselves. We do not question those we help about their finances nor do we
charge for our help!
We have been able to partner with United Way, Caring Foods, Angel Food, Conquest Community Teen
Center, Rockingham County Diversion Program, Operation Blessing, Seacoast
Community Thrift Store, Connect Community Church, and other organizations
because we are convinced that the people of our community have a desire to help
others who are in need and, when given a chance to help, that they will respond
with great love and strong conviction.
What's Next?
Seacoast Adopt-A-Block is a tool that will give people the opportunity to
serve. This is what Seacoast Adopt-A-Block is all about! It makes sense,
doesn't it? Come and join us!
Any Saturday Morning: 9am-1pm
600A Lafayette Road
Portsmouth, NH 03801
