Frequently Asked Questions

How do I receive information about upcoming trips?

To receive information and reminders of upcoming events, attend our monthly meetings. You may also stop by the FVF office if you missed the meeting and pick up an agenda of the upcoming activities. You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Remind. To get notifications on Remind, text FVF635 to 81010.

Do we have to go to every meeting?

We know life throws curve balls sometimes, please come talk to us prior to the date and we will figure out a way for you to keep your spot according to your special circumstance.

What happens if I don't have enough points by October 2nd or January 8th?

You will be contacted a week prior to open enrollment and will be notified that your spot will be give to someone else

What if I don't want to be in the program anymore?

Who do I ask my current points?

Any staff during OPEN office hours they will be happy to let you know how many points you currently have, unless they are in a meeting.
