The Crew in Blue from Ready, Willing & Able (RWA) is a vital part of what keeps the Fishtown District looking its best. These dedicated team members work tirelessly to make our streets and sidewalks cleaner, and our public spaces more inviting for everyone who lives, works, and visits here. From removing litter and sweeping sidewalks to maintaining public areas and reporting maintenance issues, their presence helps ensure that Fishtown always feels welcoming and well cared for.

Beyond their daily impact on our neighborhood, the Crew in Blue represents something even more powerful: a second chance and community partnership. Each crew member is part of RWA’s transitional work program, which provides meaningful employment, housing, and support for men overcoming homelessness, addiction, or incarceration. Their hard work doesn’t just improve Fishtown’s appearance; it strengthens the heart of our community by giving people opportunities to rebuild their lives through steady work and purpose.

Together with the Fishtown District, the Crew in Blue helps maintain the vibrancy and beauty that make our neighborhood shine, ensuring that both businesses and residents can take pride in a cleaner, safer, and more connected Fishtown.

The Fishtown Community Corps is a dedicated team hired by the Fishtown District to help keep our neighborhood looking its best. Throughout the week, the Corps can be seen sweeping sidewalks, clearing curbs, and removing trash, leaves, and small debris from our commercial corridors and community spaces. Their consistent work ensures that Fishtown remains a clean, safe, and inviting place for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.

But their impact goes far beyond tidying up. The Fishtown Community Corps represents the district’s commitment to maintaining the neighborhood’s unique charm and fostering pride among those who call it home. Each cleanup contributes to a more vibrant and welcoming environment – one where local businesses can thrive, families can enjoy walking the streets, and visitors can truly experience the best of Fishtown.

By investing in the Corps, the Fishtown District is investing in the health and beauty of our community. Their efforts are a reminder that when we work together to care for our shared spaces, we create a cleaner, stronger, and more connected Fishtown for everyone.
