The Pawtucket Foundation advocates for community collaboration, public-private partnerships and active citizenship within the City. In June 2014, volunteers created the "In My Lifetime" chalk wall, where passers-by can write their hopes, aspirations and positive wishes for themselves and their community.
Pawtucket Proud Day volunteers from local businesses come together to clean up, plant, mulch, and beautify the gateways of Pawtucket every spring.
The Blackstone River provides an opportunity for recreation and attracting redevelopment. The Pawtucket Foundation supports collaborative efforts to clean up and promote safe, environmentally friendly uses along the river.
