You never walk alone.
Everyone works with a partner. First timers pair with someone who has knocked before.

Questions
Good to know.
Do I need experience?
No. We train you on site, you practice with your partner, and a team leader is a text away all morning. Most people knocking on the 10th will be doing it for the first time.
Can I come to just one Saturday?
Yes. Pick one or both. Each morning stands on its own.
What do I say at the door?
You introduce yourself as a neighbor volunteering for Tim, ask what matters to them, and share why you support him. The script fits on one card, and you leave a palm card at every door.
Do I get a Shepard shirt?
Yes. Pick your size when you sign up and your shirt will be waiting at the sign-in table. Wear it on the doors so neighbors know who you are with.
Can I bring my kids?
Yes. Anyone under 18 walks with a parent or guardian.
What if it rains?
We knock in light rain. If the weather turns unsafe, we will text you by 7:00 AM.
I'm running late. Can I still come?
Yes. Walk lists go out until 10:30 AM. Come to the coffee shop and a team leader will get you set.
Where do we meet?
Meet at Dodo Coffee Co., 2568 W McMillan Dr. Look for the Shepard volunteers at the sign-in table.
Who is hosting the canvass?
