> 
> Parents2PollsTompkins is a brand new, grassroots non-partisan initiative focused on helping parents of young children get to the polls this Election Day, November 6th. We are currently seeking volunteers to help us offer the following free services in Ithaca and at polling places around Tompkins County:
> - FREE drop-in childcare at Southside Community Center on Election Day
> - FREE rides to the polls equipped with car seats. 
> - FREE parking lot support: parent volunteers will help voting parents avoid car seat struggles by watching kids in the car for a few minutes while the parent vote, or by standing in lines in their stead if need be.
>

> It’s already accepting requests now, and will be active through 8pm on elections day.
> 
> Parents2PollsTompkins ability to meet requests is dependent on the availability of volunteers, so please sign up and spread the word. 
> 
> Until we have a better idea of community needs and volunteer availability, we cannot yet promise full coverage at all polling places but as we learn what parents need, we'll do our best to respond as soon as possible with what we can offer.
> 
> Details on the availability of drivers and parking lot support will be shared live on the Parents2PollsTompkins public page starting on Monday November 5, and throughout elections day: https://www.facebook.com/Parents2pollsTompkins/ <https://www.facebook.com/Parents2pollsTompkins/> (facebook account not required to view).

> Please support the civic engagement of parents of young children by forwarding this information to individuals as well as schools, places of worship, and community lists.

> Thank you.
