The Block Blitz is an annual community revitalization event organized by Home HeadQuarters that brings together homeowners, community partners, skilled laborers and volunteers who donate their time and talents to help cleanup, landscape, paint and repair as many homes as possible in a single day in a high-need neighborhood. This year's event is set for Sept. 14 in Syracuse's South Side. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the 100-200 blocks of West Borden Avenue and will include the 200 block of West Beard and some of Landon avenues.
