Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc. (KIB) would like to create an informal challenge between Historic Meridian Park, the Herron Morton neighborhood, and other neighborhoods to see which neighborhood can get a block captain for every block in their neighborhood.

KIB Adopt-A-Block Captains sign up to care for their block for a 2-year period.  Block captains commit to maintain their blocks, including any storm drains within it, free of litter and debris on an ongoing basis. In return for signing up to be a block captain, KIB provides tools and supplies to each block captain that includes a litter grabber, garbage bags, gloves, an Adopt-A-Block T-shirt, door hangers, and a choice of four (4) of the following items:

  • Broom
  • Shovel
  • Protective gloves
  • Scoop
  • Bucket
  • Reflective vest

KIB provides additional gloves and trash bags as needed during regular business hours. To beat Herron Morton and others, HMP needs block captains to go to kibi.org and register to be a block captain. Registration is easy and should not take more than a few minutes. Back up block captains are also welcome.
