Hundreds of Paterson Residents to Attend NJCDC’s Free Block Party this Saturday

WHAT:

To celebrate the neighborhood it serves—and to provide information to local residents—New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC) is holding its free annual Great Falls Neighborhood Block Party this Saturday, October 21. Hundreds of Paterson residents are expected to attend the Block Party, where they will have the chance to learn about the resources available to them in the community and through NJCDC’s many programs, including our Neighborhood Help Center—a one-stop-shop for neighborhood residents to receive assistance with a broad range of topics that concern them.

At the free event, attendees will also enjoy carnival games, inflatables, a slide, food, raffles, and much more. While the event is normally held outdoors, it was moved indoors due to the weather forecast.
