In addition to the standard features and benefits of using Meet The Need to manage your outreach event, you can take advantage of the following options as well:

Run Meet The Need Through Your Event’s Web Site

Provide a system on your web site that all participating church members, ministries, individual volunteers and corporations can go to volunteer or provide resources for your outreach event. Meet The Need truly unites the body of Christ because members of many different churches all sign up through a common platform as opposed to signing up on separate sign up sheets at each church. Using Meet The Need on your event’s site will dramatically increase the visibility and perceived professionalism of your outreach event.

Define Event Roles by Setting Up New Categories

Set up roles for all volunteers needed for the event on Meet The Need, enabling people from multiple churches, ministries or anyone in the community to search for specific roles they are best suited and most interested in playing during your outreach event.

Build and Manage Teams

Register each Team as a separate sub-organization under the event, thereby empowering each Team Leader to post volunteer and resource needs and communicate easily with those who agree to meet one of the needs posted by that Team. This takes a good deal of the administrative burden off of the event coordinators by passing down accountability for team building and management to Team Leaders. However, event coordinators maintain supervisory control by having complete visibility into all Team activities at all times through their Meet The Need Dashboard.
