📣 Volunteer & go for a walk at the same time!

We’re looking for youth, families & community members to help us Devon Program Guides around town. It’s a simple way to raise funds for our programs while getting your daily steps in!

We’ve set up a Google Sheet where you can see all the sections and check which ones still need coverage. Each section is about 200 homes.

We’re hoping to have them all delivered by Tuesday night if possible!
