How you can participate
Block parties and bikes parades
Neighbors usually hold a party on their block with a yummy cookout or delicious potluck. Sometimes the parties include a kid’s parade, or games and activities for everyone.
Each May, the Salem Police Department begins taking registrations for block parties. Until then, read more about
how to host a block party.
Volunteer projects
Often neighbors do a
volunteer project in their
neighborhood, such as painting over graffiti or do lawn care for an elderly neighbor. No matter what the project, the purpose is to bring everyone together to build a strong, safe neighborhood.
