In the past, KYCC has hosted small gatherings for Menlo tenants but this year, our partners helped us close down and secure a portion of the street for a full day of family-friendly activities.<\/p>\n<p>That morning, our Youth Services and Environmental Services staff came together with community volunteers to beautify the landscaping in front of the Menlo Family Apartments by planting fruit trees, replacing dead plants, pulling weeds and disposing of litter. Later, ECDP kicked off the event by catering refreshments\u2014including hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2016\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.kyccla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_0829-e1510189606435-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\" \/>\u00abThe Block Party was a great gathering for our Menlo families,\u00bb said Julio Barahona, KYCC Menlo Family Apartments Services Coordinator. \u00abEveryone enjoyed the day together as a community.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Many families stayed the entire day to enjoy the festivities, which proved to double as a rare opportunity for kids to play out on the street.
