SignUpGenius Serves at Crisis Assistance Ministry

Our staff recently kissed our computers goodbye for a few hours and headed out into our community to serve at our local Crisis Assistance Ministry. This awesome non-profit provides assistance for people in financial crisis, whether they've lost a job, struggled with an illness or faced some other type of traumatic situation. It was a great opportunity for our group to learn about the various ways that Crisis Assistance Ministry helps out, whether through short term assistance with bills or by providing a store where folks can pick up necessities and save their limited resources for other high priority needs. 

It didn't seem like much to spend a couple of hours sorting, inspecting and hanging clothes, so we were surprised to find out that for each hour we donated, a family could be clothed for one year. What a great reminder that making a positive impact in our communities is doable! It also made us even more thankful for all the ways that our users are changing the world...one sign up at a time.

We'd love to hear from you about what you're doing to serve in your community. Leave us a comment below, and we may even contact you to spotlight how you are using SignUpGenius to make the world you live in a better place!
