Participants who register to participate will receive one email per week (during the campaign), and intermittent texts with updates on the campaign. Daily website and social media posts will tell the Acts story in a unique way, and we hope you’ll be inspired to share!
Participants are encouraged to share digital content that inspires them, and their own personal reasons for supporting Acts, introducing friends and family to our mission: Empowerment through Homeownership.
Over the course of the campaign, the Longest Neighborhood Table will grown through digital reach as well as personal introductions. Our goal: to begin with at least 250 friends and supporters signed up, and to close the campaign with at least 1,000!
