“How people show up to provide service in their community is changing.
While they may volunteer at a food bank, they might also start a letter-writing campaign to help create food security in their community." CCVO's president and CEO Karen Ball is one of the nonprofit leaders sharing their thoughts on volunteer recruitment in this Future of Good article. Read the article to see the rest of her thoughts, along with insights from nonprofit leaders from across the country.

There is truth in this comment.
If you're a company looking to make an impact within your local community by leveraging your employees' desire to use volunteer time, make sure it is worthwhile for both them AND the organization you are helping. If it is just two hours, please, PLEASE reconsider your time commitment!
As an organizer on projects such as these, I can tell you that the first 30 to 45 minutes a company volunteer day is spent just herding the cats, introductions, going over safety instructions, and doing photo ops. If that leaves just 75 to 90 minutes to actually work, your company's staff won't feel like it was worth their time. The employees WANT to get their hands dirty! They WANT to do something that isn't looking at spreadsheets or emails! And most of all, they WANT to know that when they leave later that day, they can say they made a difference.
And you know what they say: "You've GOT to give the people what they WANT!" #volunteering#activism

Help At Your Door was recently recognized as Golden Valley Rotary Club Business of the Year.
I am proud to serve on the board of directors and am reaching out to ask for your help to solve for three areas of need that are critical to fulfill the mission of helping seniors and those with disabilities remain independent in their homes.
1. Staffing – We have critical gaps in our paid staff roles. Who do you know that might be a good fit for our openings in operations, finance and store coordination? https://lnkd.in/dJGmWrAf
2. Volunteers – Our demand for transportation and home services are exceeding our supply of volunteers. Please consider volunteering and/or sharing with your network! https://lnkd.in/dcJXm3xP
3. New Van – Grocery delivery remains the largest service provided and the current vans are starting to fail. Please consider donating to fund new vans. https://lnkd.in/deDnNaDz#donate#jobopportunity#volunteers
Philanthropy is all about making a positive impact on the world through generosity. It's about compassion, empathy and a commitment to creating a better future for all. Whether through donations, volunteer work or simply spreading kindness, every act of giving matters.
We love seeing how businesses and individuals chose to give back! Let's take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes who tirelessly work to uplift their communities and the world. Their dedication inspires us to strive for a kinder, more compassionate world.
Happy Philanthropy Day! Let us know in the comments how you like to give back—it doesn’t have to be philanthropy work, we just want to spread some positivity.
