Adopt-A-Block

Now including Intersections!

Keep McAlester Beautiful (KMB) is excited to offer McAlester’s very own Adopt-A-Block program. This opportunity encourages businesses, churches, organizations, and families to choose a portion of our great city to care for throughout the year.

As a participant in Adopt-A-Block, you will work with Keep McAlester Beautiful to beautify and clean your selected area or intersection. This could be conducting litter pickups, watering flowers, planting trees, painting buildings, curb, crosswalk or street markings, or helping others in your neighborhood recycle. There are so many opportunities for you to take on a beautification, sustainable, heatly, or environmental initiative with the backing and support of KMB.

Working closely with your Adopt-A-Block leader, KMB can help provide you with the tools, expertise, and authorization to see your neighborhood or intersection transformed. We can provide trash grabbers, trash bags, safety vests, gloves, paint, tools, or other materials for your projects. We also work with local government and property owners to ensure your projects are carried out in an appropriate way. Our job is to enable you to have an impact on the cleanliness, safety,health, and enhancement of our city.

There is no cost to Adopt-A-Block  and includes the installation of a sign on your block or intersection proudly displaying your commitment. After that, you will work with PIM to complete your projects and turn in a simple report at the end. As long as you continue to improve your block at least once a year, your sign stays in place. It’s an uncomplicated commitment for a significant impact.
