South Bend is making changes to the 2020 Love Your Block program, as a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The mini-grant program combats blight in low-income neighborhoods, and will make new Acts of Kindness grants available.These grants, worth between $250-$350, will go toward residents and organizations that are nominated to develop new programs such as community garden spaces.

Love Your Block will also make funds available for neighborhoods who seek to improve their digital engagement with residents.
