As Fulton Block Builders Celebrate its 10 Year Anniversary, Founder Linda Eagan takes a look back at the inception of the program, and shares excitement for the future.

It only happens through collaborative endeavors with multiple organizations and community groups, incredible sponsors and individual donors who have helped us transform our city, many, many, many volunteers, and YOU, Fulton!

Together we will continue to build on community pride, neighborhood investment, friendships, and care for our neighbors.

The 2026 Block Grant Challenge award recipients gathered at the Polish Home to celebrate and share excitement for the projects and upgrades to their homes and yards, and learn of some pretty cool Pride Grant projects.

Every year our sponsors come through to make these transformations happen around our city and we could not be more grateful. Every summer we see magic happen in our neighborhoods as people gather to share ideas, share tools, offer a helping hand to a neighbor in need, and cultivate opportunity to strengthen bonds.

A special thank you to the The Fulton Polish Home, Kristen's Kitchen and Very Next Accident for making the evening over the top special.

It's not too early to be thinking about next summer! If you need help getting your Block Grant Challenge or Pride Grant off the ground for next summer you can find more information here: www.fultonblockbuilders.com
