Thinking it might be a good idea to get things a little more organized and Im more than willing to help get that going. So Ive put some thought into what areas need help and volunteers, it would be helpful if we could have people assigned to handle certain things so we can give direction when someone has something to donate or volunteers to do. This is what I have come up with. Donation coordinator-directs people where to take donations for items. Also would need someone that can do pick ups. Organizes each category to see what items are still needed for each family. Event organizer-plans events such as fund raisers Business Donation advocate-calls local businesses to see if they can offer items needed most. Meals and food advocate- Organizing donated food and responsible for arranging meals to be made and brought to families, 1 person assigned to each family would be best. Community service organizer-helps organize and plan clean ups, rebuilding with volunteers etc Pets advocate-foster homes, accept donated items Storage volunteers- accept items not needed right away, clothing, furniture, household etc. it would be helpful if clothing was at one house, furniture at another etc... Fundraiser organizer-plans for fundraiser event ideas as needed. If you can comment below what you would be willing to be assigned to Ill compose a final list. I think 2 people for each one would be a good idea. Also if you have any other suggestions on areas that should be included in this list then put that in there so we can add it and get volunteers assigned to those as well. Ill keep this updated and when we have finals assigned they will be posted at the top of the page so people know who to contact. I think this will make the transitions much smoother and less stressful for everyone around. Good luck and thank you to everyone for their kindness and efforts!!
