If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending text messages to you for the programs you have signed up for.

 

We do not guarantee the successful delivery of text messages by your wireless provider. Messages sent by text may not be delivered if the mobile device is not in range of a transmission site, or if the network is down. Factors beyond the power of wireless carriers may get in the way of message delivery. This may include the terrain, how close you are to buildings, foliage, weather, and your equipment. We and your wireless provider will not be liable for losses or damages that come from:

  • a message not delivered, a message delivered late, or

  • a message that goes to the wrong number; or

  • inaccurate or incomplete content in a text message. 

  • We are not liable for your use or reliance on the content of any text message.

​

If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.

These are typically delivered by mail to your home (for example; Amazon delivers) or we will make arrangements for our staff or volunteers to deliver the item.
