How OurBlock Works

OurBlock helps your community show what it wants to see in an empty space, and helps local businesses and property owners act on it. It takes four steps.

Vote

Find your community and vote for the business you want to see in the space near you. It is free and takes only a moment.

Pledge

When pledging opens, you can back your favorite business. You will see every detail before you commit.

Buy

Together, neighbors help the business get started and open its doors.

Receive

Pledgers receive a gift certificate to the business, so you are among its very first customers.
