Welcome to Deep River Home Together, a new one stop community hub linking you to online classes, workshops and virtual experiences related to physical activity, well-being, education, culture, music, dance and much more.
At this time when we're all affected by the need for physical distancing due to the spread of COVID-19, it's important now more than ever to come together and celebrate the innovation and talent that's happening in our local community and the world.
If you are in Deep River and surrounding area and have a free or fee-based offering, and would like to list it here, please fill out the "Submit a Virtual Link" form below, and we will add it to our Deep River Home Together listing.
Thank You & Stay Safe
