Value of Volunteering

Volunteering is a win-win scenario for business. There’s no down side to getting out there in the community and showing that you care about the things that matter to the people you count on to buy your product or use your service.

While your contributions, your support are vital to the services we can provide, volunteering allows the community to SEE you doing what you say you support. Now, of course, I wouldn’t be telling you how great this is without giving you an opportunity to try it out, right?

Labor Day is just a calendar page away and one of the biggest events of the weekend is Skyconcert. Advantage Health and HANK 97.1 FM have included us as the official charity of the event. Because 30% of Indy’s homeless is families with children, it’s our Labor of Love to collect money at the event to support The Salvation Army’s homeless programs. But we need a lot of help to take this message to the thousands who come downtown to watch the fireworks.

We’re looking for about 200 volunteers to help out by serving as roaming bellringers (using the buddy system!), bellringers at kettle stations, or answering phones at the Emmis Communications phone bank. Basically, we’re asking you to come out to White River State Park, hang out in the crowd, watch the concert, and help us raise all the money we can to end homelessness in our city!

Could your group benefit from a team building exercise? Could your message/your product use a little visability in the Indy market? We’d love to help you out while you help out our neighbors in need! Check out HomelessnessBites.org to see how you can help.
