The Block Gives Back on Saturday continued its fourth annual The Block Goes Green street-cleaning effort.
The Block organizes a “4 Blocks in 4 Weeks” cleanup, which is set for each Saturday in April.

About 25 bags of trash and debris were collected.
The day included music, drinks, pizza, snacks, football, basketball, soccer, hopscotch and a visit by two 15th Police District officers.
In all, about 50 people took part in the cleanup.
Paul Street block captain Linda Coulter bought a cake for Kevin Morales, a Block Gives Back captain who was celebrating his birthday.
This Saturday, the Block will clean the 800 block of E. Cornwall St. On April 27, a cleanup will take place on the 2800 block of N. 26th St.
