Help voters register: 'Adopt A Post Office'

One of the ways potential voters can register is by picking up a voter-registration form at their local Post Office. But as our member Ruth Afifi reports, Post Offices do not always seem to have the forms available.

To alleviate this problem, and to assist those who wish to register, Ruth is asking Volunteers For Change-Fresno members to 'Adopt A Post Office.'

For some time now, Ruth has been visiting her local Post Office to ensure two things: that her Post Office has an appropriate supply of voter-registration forms, and that they keep those forms in an easy-to-access location. Ruth has also taken responsibility for delivering new supplies of forms to her Post Office when they run out.

Her efforts have been immensely helpful to those wishing to register. But with dozens of Post Offices scattered throughout the Fresno metropolitan area, it's indeed a task for which no number of helping hands would be 'too many.'

Want to help? To 'Adopt A Post Office':
  1. First check out the list of Post Offices on the USPS website.

  2. Then, contact V4CF via e-mail at v4cfresno@yahoo.com with your name, your e-mail address, and the address of the Post Office you'd like to adopt.
V4CF will get that information to our member Ruth Afifi, who will assist you in making sure your adopted Post Office keeps an appropriate supply of forms. Questions? Contact us via e-mail.
