Mr. John Marez
City Council Member
Corpus Christi, Texas
Dear Mr. Marez:
Thank you #or this opportunity to ask for your help to recruit more community
volunteers.
The mission of Volun#eer Center of the Coastal Bend is to enable volunteers to
effectively meet community needs. We approach this mission in a number of
ways, including referring volunteers from many sources to 250 other nonprofit
and government agencies and projects and recognizing the outstanding efforts of
volunteers. We also directly engage people in programsto improve the
community, like the annual HEB Feast of Sharing on Ghristmas Erie and
JumpStart training for court referred youth. Following a hurricane or other
disaster we recruit and refer spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers from within and
outside the community. In addition, we offer volunteer management training to
help nonprofit staff maximize their volunteer resources.
Volunteer Center now provides an on-line searchable database for volunteer
opportunities. Earlier #his year we joined the t -800-voiunteer.org network, which
is integrated into our existing Website, www.volunteercentereor~us.or ,and also
available through www.1-800-volunteer.a .People without computer access can
still call our office directly or use the parallel phone system, 1-800-volunteer,
which connects them to our Volunteer Center.
Volunteer Center's 1-800-voiunteer.org website isdatrack their conotribution t Itthe
and government agencies #o recruit volunteers an
community. Tools for scheduling and communicating make it easier to engage
volunteers while reducing administrative burdens on their staff. We have recently
begun training Incal agencies to register their volunteer needs online. Twenty 2 ~ 3
~~
s
agencies have registered and begun receiving automatic notification when
potential volunteers express an interest. In addition to everyday volunteer
matching, this system provides special functions designed to help manage
volunteers during disasters.
Volunteers can access the system twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
from any Internet-connected computer. Volunteers are just beginning to use the
system to find opportunities quickly or shop around to see which opportunities fit
their interests and availability. in June the site received 131 hits, many of them
on evenings or weekends.
The community now has a wonderful tool to increase volunteering by making
available on demand information that peabout 1 840 vo unteer o g! fn addit on~ot
for them. Naw we must let people know
no cast methods such as media releases and public service announcements, we
need to reach the public by buying media advertising. East Meets West
Productions has generously offered design services at no cost. We need to
purchase media time and space.
i hope you will consider helping Volunteer Center connect the community's
nonprofit and government agenciese effortsoof thei olunteers who anslwe t he call.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
