Route Flyering Teams Canvass the Route

Helping Get the Word Out About the Overnight in the Community and Gathering Support for Walkers

Our Route Flyering Volunteer Teams for the 2012 Overnight Walk were a huge help and an important piece of the pre-walk preparations as they canvassed the streets of San Francisco and helped us get the word out to neighbors, local businesses, and San Francisco residents in general in the weeks before the Overnight Walk.

Covering the City

We were fortunate to have five separate teams of Volunteers who took time out of their day to join us at various points around the city of San Francisco and place flyers in local businesses and on resident’s doors to let them know that our Walkers would be coming through their neighborhoods.

This is a very important piece of the Overnight’s preparations because it not only provides residents and business owners with the courtesy of letting them know that we will be in their neighborhood en masse, but also letting them know that they can help support the Walkers in their own way on-event.

Our teams collectively covered the entire 17 miles of the route, each taking on a small piece of a few miles and pounding the pavement while dropping off flyers with event details, Support Posters for people to hang to encourage the Walkers, and even colored balloons for residents to display on Walk night.

We Couldn’t Do It Without You

We couldn’t properly handle things like the Route Flyering plan without the help of our dedicated Volunteers and we want to say “Thank You” once again for all of the help!
