NO! Each agency will be given 50 of each harm reduction supply to reach 50 doors. When all agencies participate, we'll reach 1,000 Doors together.

Each agency is encouraged to canvass within a 10-block radius of harm reduction vending machines. Individuals and organizations that don't have a vending machine can partner with the one nearest their location. 

1. Knock on residential and business doors.

2. Tell them where the nearest vending machine is located.

3. Give them one of each harm reduction supply (Narcan, gun locks, drug testing strips, medication deactivation bags and lock bags)

4. Show them demonstration videos if they want and on-site training. 

5. Invite them to the resources fair from 2pm to 5pm at Washington Park Senior Center

To canvass successfully, your team needs:

1. 50 of each harm reduction supply. Complete the "Registration Form" and be sure to indicate which date you'll pick up your supplies.

2. One t-shirt for each person on your team. Complete the "T-shirt Pick Up Form" to indicate when you'll pick up your shirts. 

3. The Canvassing Check List so that you can upload your photos.

You should decide how long you’ll canvass between 9am and 1pm, keeping in mind that you want to leave harm-reduction items in 50 homes. You can give supplies to people walking down the street and you can give each home more than one of the supplies.

There will be a QR code provided that will allow you to upload your pictures to the shared folder.

There’s a script you should reference while talking to people. It has questions you need to ask. Enter the answers to your questions in the 1000 Doors Challenge Canvassing Questionnaire.
