Sparkrelief is a disaster relief nonprofit that enables individuals, groups, and organizations to find, offer, and coordinate disaster relief. I have been volunteering with them for over one year now and will most definitely continue. I work with developers, design, develop the front end code for the website, conceive and execute marketing, fundraise, and more and couldn't be happier.
We serve so many people and after Hurricane Sandy, we helped feed over 5,000 people, we partnered with Aubuchon Hardware to collect and distribute goods donated by thousands of people, and we helped Lush Cosmetics distribute over $40,000 worth of bath products to those in need along the coast in NY & NJ. In addition, we helped countless numbers of people find shelter from the storm. One woman, for example, had been searching for hours on the streets of Brooklyn looking for shelter. When she found Sparkrelief’s number, we helped her get to a nearby shelter in a matter of minutes.
Wow. I am literally helping to save hundreds, if not thousands of people's lives by volunteering my time with them. And best of all, I can work remotely as all I need to contribute is a computer. Definitely worth checking out. They need all the help they can get, whether you can provide mentorship, legal services, development skills, design, fundraising... you name it.
