Community ID Drive
Saturday, October 5, at New Beginnings Church - 1130 E. Market St.
NOTE: Doors open at 8 am, applicants must arrive before 9 am for orientation.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
- Volunteers can help at our drives with data entry, document checking, helping out in the child care room, and simply chatting with our applicants as they wait to start the process (some wait over 90 minutes when we have big turnouts). It helps in some of these roles to speak Spanish, but isn't required.
- We need people who already have a government ID to sign up for this Community ID. Doing so will help prevent our cardholders from being stigmatized or labelled. And the more people who have and use our card, the more the word will spread. If you'd like to volunteer, contact interim coordinator Chayla Rowley, at cvilleid@gmail.com.
