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:

  1. 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.
  2. Publisher drops materials off at coordinator’s house.
  3. Coordinator contacts area captains and advises of upcoming distribution.
  4. Coordinator divides materials into areas and distributes materials to area captains.
  5. Area captains contact block captains and advise of upcoming distribution.
  6. Area captains divide materials by block and distributes materials to block captains.
  7. Block captains distribute materials to homes.
