Boston: Registration Is Now Open For 2026 Love Your Block Cleanups

~ Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the Office of Civic Organizing (OCO) have announced that registration for the 2026 Love Your Block spring cleanups is now open. The events, which are scheduled to take place on April 24, April 25, and May 2, invite residents to join or host neighborhood cleanups and beautification projects across the city.

Love Your Block is a citywide initiative that has been empowering residents for 11 years to take ownership of their public spaces and strengthen community pride and civic engagement. This year's cleanups hold special significance as Boston celebrates its 250th anniversary as a country. They highlight the city's history of community-led service and the legacy reflected in its neighborhoods and residents.

Mayor Wu expressed her enthusiasm for the Love Your Block initiative, stating, "Love Your Block reflects the pride residents take in their neighborhoods and the community spirit that defines Boston." She encouraged all residents to sign up, meet their neighbors, and help keep the streets, parks, and public spaces vibrant for everyone.

Nathalia Benitez-Perez, Director of the Office of Civic Organizing, emphasized the importance of resident involvement in Love Your Block. "By providing tools, coordination, and support for community-led efforts," she said, "we strengthen residents' connection to City Hall while empowering them to lead projects that make a lasting difference in the public spaces they care for and use every day."
