How it Works - Implementation Options for Larger Churches

Meet The Need can be operated with very little of your staff’s time and effort or you can choose to get more involved in posting needs and managing your outreach programs using Meet The Need. Either way, it will save you a significant amount of time you spend now organizing outreach events, talking with local agencies and families who are looking for help, trying to track down someone in your church who can meet those needs, and making sure it gets done. Meet The Need does most of that work for you, saving you time and money while getting your church much more involved in serving your community!
Below are the things your church can consider doing when implementing Meet The Need:

Customize a Dedicated Meet The Need Solution for your Church Expand

  • Meet The Need can set up our software on your web site to operate according to your specifications (e.g. restricting access your members have to seeing particular types of needs)

Roll out to Entire Congregation or to “Teams” Expand

  • Each team (e.g. Bible Study Group) within your church can be a mini-outreach organization, fully equipped with their own “Dashboards” to post needs and manage their outreach activity

Assign Someone within Your Church to Post Needs for: Expand

  • Your Church or Local Ministries (e.g. Outreach Director)
  • Your Members or Local Families (e.g. Benevolence Director)
  • Your Missionaries or Missions Trips (e.g. Missions Director)

Assist in Delivering Commitments to Local Families Expand

  • Allow people the option of asking you to deliver items on their behalf to local families that you’re trying to help as part of your benevolence or visitation ministry

Run Your Own Outreach Event (or Join a Multi-Church Event) Expand

  • Quickly and easily get resources and volunteers from within your own church or from the community at large for events that you organize or participate in with other churches
  • Events can be focused on a type of local ministry (e.g. food banks), a specific group of families in a neighborhood, or a targeted demographic group (e.g. single moms)
