Federation of Block Units

The Federation of Block Units is dedicated to helping residents in the St. Louis community improve their neighborhoods. An auxiliary of the Urban League since 1932, the Federation is the oldest self-help grassroots organization in the St. Louis area.

The focus on revitalizing and expanding the Federation of Block Units, including St. Clair County, Illinois, continues to be a priority of the current Federation Board of Directors.

Members throughout the Federation constantly encourage voter registration and participation, especially in the local and state elections, which have a greater impact in areas where they live.
