The first volunteer day for the first BLOCK Home, back in 2017. Windermere Real Estate generously invited employees to take the day and get ready for the home install by clearing the site and preparing existing plants that were to be removed for a plant sale.

Bobby, formerly homeless on the streets of Seattle for 10 years, is hosting a dinner in front of his new home in Fall of 2017. Kim and Dan, the host family, sits at the table and talks about how beautifully life-changing it has been to invite Bobby into their backyard and lives.
