Food bank shifts, filled and accounted for.
Post every shift with a capacity, let volunteers sign up with a code instead of a password, remind them by text, and confirm who came on one roster after each shift.
Capacity per shift
Sign-ups stop when it’s full.
Quick sign-up
A code by text or email, no password.
Reminders
The evening before and the morning of.
One roster
No-shows and walk-ins, after every shift.
A shift for every slot.
Each shift is its own event with a time, a place and a capacity. Once it’s full, sign-ups stop.
Copy a shift weekly, every two weeks or monthly instead of setting it up again.
Sign up in a minute.
New volunteers sign up with a code sent by text or email, with no password to remember. Turn on a waiver and they agree to it as they sign up, with the time on record.
Reminders before every shift.
Volunteers get a text the evening before and the morning of, and an email the day before. They can turn either text off.
Hours by text.
Volunteers text “sign in” when they arrive and “sign out” when they leave, and the hours go on their record. Export everyone’s hours when you report to a board or a funder.
