How do you 602? The City of Phoenix is celebrating June 2 (6/02) as 602 Day for the third year in row by working with local businesses and organizations to cultivate civic pride. This year, more than 350 participants across the Valley are joining the festivities by offering special deals, discounts and events. Take advantage of all that Phoenix has to offer from restaurants and shops to attractions and community organizations. There’s something for everyone to enjoy on this special area code day. Visit 602Day.com for more information and an interactive map showcasing all of our participating partners.

This month, we joined a local elementary school's first-ever Career and Vehicle Day! Yolanda, our Neighborhood Specialist for the area, visited nine classrooms and answered students' questions about what the City does, career pathways, and more. She also brought along 300 goodie bags to pass out throughout the day! A big thank you to the school for including our Neighborhood Specialists in the day.

Our neighborhoods are at their best when residents lead the way. These Love Your Block projects show what happens when neighbors work together to improve their community spaces and create real change that makes their neighborhood a better place to live.

Now it’s your turn... If you're part of a registered neighborhood group and have an idea for an improvement in your neighborhood, the Love Your Block Grants program is accepting applications until May 27. Find out more about the LYB program and grant criteria: https://bit.ly/4tDbM41
