Board Game Day this Saturday - 2/21 from 2pm - 4pm!

Our board game day is back! We will have plenty of games for all ages, or bring your own! This time, instead of entering through the back door of First Unitarian Universalist Syracuse (109 Waring Rd, Syracuse) we will enter through the upper door. All upper parking lot spots have disability placards, but it's ok to ignore them and park in the upper lot if needed for this event. KN/KF/N95 masks required and provided.

Restocked thanks to a generous donation of 2,400 Powecom KN95 masks by Bona Fide Masks! We are so grateful for their support and we can't wait to get these masks out to the community.

If you need masks and/or COVID tests, fill out our form to request supplies: https://betterbreathingbloc.com/

We offer ALL of our services, lending library, and events for free, donations optional. Our team is full of volunteers. It’s partly thanks to folks with the means to financially support us that we can continue this work!

Many thanks to our fiscal sponsor for taking our donations — remember to comment BBB so that they know you’re donating to the mask bloc!
