Helping in swing states from afar?

This is probably a dumb question, but aside from donating money, is there a way that a red-stater (TN) like me can help in swing states where the race is hotly contested? Phone banking, printing/mailing fliers, I don't know, I'm just grabbing at straws.

I'm uninformed about the ground game, but I want to help in the final couple of weeks where I can. If that means I'm just limited to donating money, then that's what I'll do, I would just like to help in a more tangible and meaningful way. However, I have no more vacation time and would have to do whatever I do from afar.

I looked around before I posted, but all I saw was the "what state are you in" drop down box and nothing under TN or OH seemed to have anything relevant. I'll go back.
