Why it matters?

In the final crunch, here are THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO to help us meet our goal:

1. TAKE THE SURVEY FOR YOUR HOUSE HOLD!!

2. Use the QR code at a neighborhood get together to help promote our survey completion!

3. Post the reminder in your neighborhood group so that more families take the time to complete the survey.
