Overview
Community Needs provide an opportunity to engage with others by sharing opinions, ideas, solutions, and plans. Engage in a great opportunity to participate as individuals, groups, and organizations to provide support through leadership and charitable contributions.
What are community needs?
Some Needs raise awareness about social issues and welcome a discussion to work together towards a solution.
Other needs are tangible items or monetary donations that are required to support work done by others for a cause or to provide relief.
What can I do to help?
- “I’ll take care of it” allows leaders to turn a need into an Event or Volunteer Opportunity that will help alleviate the issue.
- Events encompass various activities such as fundraisers, temporary donation drop-off centers, community meetings, etc.
- Volunteer Opportunities may include skill-specific aid such as health professional support, hands-on assistance, education, etc.
- Foundations and groups can review community needs to grant funds to programs of interest.
