Neighborhood Walkers (late November -
January)
Boulder County Housing and Human Services
is looking for volunteers to distribute doorhangers in low income
neighborhoods. The doorhangers publicize under-utilized
governmental programs such as the child health plan (CHP+), Medicaid,
home weatherization help and Food Stamps. This is a good way to
ensure that families will stay warm, healthy and fed this winter.
Distribution is scheduled to take place over select weekends from late
November through January.
