Program Report

A note about attendance tracking this year: The next two questions ask about the number of participants for your FRW events this year. With the understanding that this year is not a "normal" year, please do your best when estimating this number. For example, if you only did a curbside event this year, then count the number of bags/books/kits you handed out for FRW curbside as your number of participants. If you did an in-person event, a curbside distribution, and virtual programming, combine these numbers into one partipant number and share more details in the text box below if you want to provide further clarification.
