partner organizations, and they shared someone who is making a difference in the lives of others.
We're celebrating National Volunteer Week at SignUpGenius by recognizing some of the hardworking volunteers who power our communities. We reached out to our four partner organizations, and they shared someone who is making a difference in the lives of others.
Meet our second "genius" volunteer who works with African Christians Fellowship International, a nonprofit that provides education for indigent and orphaned children in Liberia.
Genius Volunteer: Bob Bridges
About Bob: ACFI nominated Bob for "his humanitarian services to the family, church and the social well being of children and the needy."
Bob and his wife, Elizabeth, adopted two boys through ACFI in 2008 and Bob returned on a couple of mission trips to lead teams to help at the mission homes. He set up and oversaw a micro loan program for ACFI church members to enable them to care for their families. He has continued financially supporting ACFI since 2008 and helped them acquire a donated church property in Lancaster, S.C., that ACFI is using as a training facility for missionaries.
As a thank you to Bob for his selfless service, he will be receiving a $100 gift card. That's one genius volunteer!

I just wanted to say thank you to the SignUpGenius team for such a fabulous website. I have been organizing a Christmas giving event at my office for almost 15 years. When I first started, I printed off "angels" and typed in wish lists for each kid and mom to be adopted for Christmas gift. ... Last year, I used SignUpGenius for the first time for my event. It has made a significant impact on organizing this event, saving me hours and hours of time. Plus, it allowed me to easily distribute information about the event. It has taken away much of the stress of coordinating this event, and I am able to reflect more on why I do this rather than stress over the details.
