By Kristi Jourdan, PIO, Contra Costa County
(Pleasant Hill, CA) – Contra Costa County is bringing its services directly to the community with the annual Contra Costa County Block Party on Tuesday, September 29, from 4:00–7:00 p.m. at the Pleasant Hill Library, 2 Monticello Avenue, Pleasant Hill.
Contra Costa residents can stop by to take care of County business, connect with local government, get help with important tasks—and enjoy an evening of food, fun and community.
District 4 Supervisor Ken Carlson and the City of Pleasant Hill are partnering with the County to host this free, family-friendly event and make it easier for residents to access services outside regular business hours.
“The County Block Party is about meeting people where they are and bringing County services directly into the community,” Vice Chair Ken Carlson said. “By bringing resources together in one welcoming place, we’re making it easier for residents to access the support they need and feel connected to their community.”
Residents can register to vote, obtain copies of vital records and apply for programs such as Veterans Benefits, CalFresh and Medi-Cal. County staff will also answer questions, connect residents with resources and help them navigate County services.
“We’re proud to partner with Supervisor Carlson and Contra Costa County to bring this important event to Pleasant Hill,” said Pleasant Hill Mayor Zac Shess. “The Block Party reflects our shared commitment to accessible services, stronger connections between residents and local government, and a vibrant community.”
County departments — including the Public Defender’s Office, Clerk-Recorder-Elections, Employment & Human Services Department, Public Works and Contra Costa Health — will join the City of Pleasant Hill to provide services, resources and information. Residents can also enjoy food, entertainment and activities for all ages.
Since launching in 2017, the County Block Party has brought County services and staff into communities across the County, rotating locations each year to make government more accessible and strengthen connections with residents. This year marks the event’s seventh year.
Come for the services. Stay for the food, fun and community.
