How to distribute publications
The block captain network is not immediate. This is a multi-step, volunteer-run system. You should arrange a schedule with the block captain system coordinator and also expect up to a full week for materials to be delivered.
Publication distribution generally involves:
- Publisher contacts block captain system coordinator and schedules distribution, then the coordinator contacts emails all block and area captains to alert them to the impending delivery.
- Publisher drops materials off at coordinator’s house.
- Coordinator contacts area captains and advises of upcoming distribution.
- Coordinator divides materials into areas and distributes materials to area captains.
- Area captains contact block captains and advise of upcoming distribution.
- Area captains divide materials by block and distributes materials to block captains.
- Block captains distribute materials to homes.
