We do not sell any services as members of the Community Support Network, nor do we receive a commission for referrals provided as part of this campaign. 

We do not collect name, address, email, and telephone number during our interactions, although we do ask those we meet to assist in providing us with general demographic information and to answer a few simple questions to help us identify the services that will be most immediately helpful.
