Join us on Monday, August 3 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Walk a downtown neighborhood route to distribute flyers to historically hard-to-count populations living in Census Tract 1. United Way staff will share insight into how the Census influences the availability of community resources and why we are choosing to raise awareness in this way. For every person not counted in the census, our community forfeits $2,800.
Each route is about 2 miles and will take about 1 hour.
Starting and ending at Peace Plaza, volunteers will walk in groups of three and distribute the Census flyers at homes and apartments in Census Tract 1. Digital maps will be available - please bring a smart phone.
This is an outdoor, social distancing opportunity!
Please meet at Peace Plaza (near the Chateau). Masks are required for our short orientation, and optional for the walk.
Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. We also recommend bringing sunscreen and water. As we come together, we would also love to document this experience and encourage everyone to be part of a group photo.
In the instance of rain, we will reach out by 2:30 p.m. on August 3 to notify volunteers of cancellation and reschedule to another date (TBD).
