clean & safe neighborhood parks IN FRESNO
SignATURE DRIVE
We are currently in a signature gathering effort so we can place this important initiative on the ballot in November to help raise funding for Fresno's parks. Every signature counts, and gets us one step closer to making a positive impact on our city for generations to come.
There are various ways you can help:
1) Sign the petition!
If you are a registered voter in the City of Fresno (not the County), we need your signature! We have both paid and volunteer signature gatherers canvassing around the city, and we also have petitions available to sign at the following locations:
Central Valley Community Foundation (CVCF)
Monday - Friday | 8am - 5pm
FIG GARDEN VILLAGE: 5260 N Palm Ave #122, Fresno, CA 93704
(Entrance is located on the Northeast corner of the building)
San Joaquin River Parkway (River Center)
Mon - Fri: 9am-5pm & Sat & Sun: 8am-3pm
NORTH FRESNO: 11605 Old Friant Rd, Fresno, CA 93730
Hands On Central California
Monday - Friday | 8am - 4pm
TOWER DISTRICT: 732 N Van Ness Ave, Fresno, CA 93728
Fresno Arts Council
Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri | 10am - 2pm
DOWNTOWN: 1245 Van Ness Ave, Fresno, CA 93721
2) Help gather signatures!
We are seeking volunteer canvassers to help gather signatures for the Fresno for Parks initiative. If you are interested in collecting signatures from friends, families, or even strangers, please stop by the Central Valley Community Foundation and pick up blank petition packets. Anyone over the age of 18 can collect signatures, but those who sign the petition must be registered voters in the City of Fresno (not the County).
Please return ALL signatures (even if you only have a few!) ASAP to:
Central Valley Community Foundation (CVCF)
Monday - Friday | 8am - 5pm
FIG GARDEN VILLAGE: 5260 N Palm Ave #122, Fresno, CA 93704
(Entrance is located on the Northeast corner of the building)
3) Be a paid canvasser!
If you are interested in becoming a paid signature gatherer, please call or text our campaign manager, Elaine Robles-McGraw at (559) 281-1368. Canvassers are now earning $6 per valid signature, and high-performing canvassers who collect 400 or more can earn $10 per valid signature. There is no limit to how many signatures you can collect, and outgoing canvassers who put in 5+ hours per day can earn $4,000+ per week!
If you are already signed-up to be a paid canvasser, please note that we will no longer be holding orientations or petition pick-ups at the Starbucks location in River Park.
Our canvasser orientation sessions and paid petition pick-ups are held at:
Fresno Building Healthy Communities
4991 E. McKinley Ave. Suite 107, Fresno, CA 93727
8:30am: Canvasser Breakfast & Orientation/Meeting/Check-in
5:30-6:00pm: Canvasser Orientation/Check-in/Dinner & Paid Petition Pick-Ups
Thank you for your support during this signature drive!
Every day is crucial, and every signature brings us one step closer to transforming our city's parks, trails, and recreation/art programs for all Fresno residents.
