Ideas for helping?

My husband is getting chemo, so from day to day, not sure how things are going to be. In other years, I volunteered at the Democratic headquarters. This year, we've sent donations, put things on Facebook. I would like to get yard signs, but haven't got over to get them.

Is there anything I can do online to help Democratic candidates get elected? I'm in Ohio.

I appreciate any ideas.

From your home and with a ngp van account you can place phone calls. Contact your local field organizer I am sure they will be able to help you.

can also deliver signs. Explain why you can't get out to pick them up. I have delivered signs to people more than a few times.

My husband made calls from home today. When I stopped in the headquarters today, they handed me a list because they were a bit behind with calls. Tomorrow we phone bank again.

I'll give these a shot. I made calls from home one year, from a list.
