“Door tags are a simple and direct way to reach local residents, especially those lacking internet connections, having limited technical literacy or whose first language is not English,” said Madeline Lenz, Project Coordinator. Tags are printed in English and Spanish thanks to UMass Professor Luis Marentes and his Spanish Translation for Community Health Services students.
The goal of the Vax Facts Project is to ensure that every Northampton resident is fully informed about vaccines, community resources and support. Volunteers can request or be assigned certain streets and neighborhoods. They can walk alone or in teams. NN will supply the tags to be distributed within a week of pick up. While supplies last, we’ll offer NN buttons as well as masks and gloves to those who request them.
