Most people can always use an extra hand when moving. Gather a team of strong men and women to do some heavy-lifting to help the community (and your cause). HINT: Fit and capable high school or college athletes make great movers. Here’s what you need:
- Volunteer sign-up form
- Moving Request form
- Mobile messaging reminders for service scheduling & updates
In exchange for a donation fee to your nonprofit, community members can fill out a moving request form to designate the type of help they need. Maybe it’s boxes that have to be packed or unpacked. Or they’re looking for some extra help to reorganize their attic, basement or garage. Perhaps the local elderly support group might want to hire out your volunteers to carry in groceries for their clients.
Collect information regarding volunteer availability, physical capabilities and areas of expertise on the sign-up form to help you match volunteers with moving job requests.
Information about your nonprofit’s moving services can be shared with supporters, staff and volunteers via text and email. You can ask interested moving clients to connect and donate to your cause via keywords and shortcodes for respective donation/sign-up forms, URL links to the form and a QR code for printed media like event posters or flyers.
Use mobile messaging to send scheduling reminders and updates to volunteers and donors.
