HOW DOES IT WORK?
Via a communication portal
with minimal SCC staff time and no budget impact
Steps Involved
1: A Need for Goods or Services Arises
Needs are Posted on the Portal
Ministries and approved charities describe current client and organizational needs in a structured way that allows potential providers to search by types of resources they may have to offer, e.g. clothing, appliances, mentors, office supplies, food servers, transportation, etc.
2. Hearts are stirred to Help
Sunrise is on the alert to meet needs
People at Sunrise eagerly take the initiative to bless others by checking the portal regularly or by subscribing to emails as new needs are posted by organizations they choose to engage with. When they see an opportunity they wish to get involved with, they make a commitment to meet that need. Both parties receive contact information in case of a future change in plans or questions arise. The portal sends reminders of outstanding commitments for needs not yet completed.
3. The Need is Met
Commitments to meet needs get completed
People are asked to confirm when the need has been completed. They are given an opportunity to shared any 'God moments' encountered as a result of their engagement with service opportunities or to write a note of encouragement to the leaders of the ministry they served.
In the background, the portal application keeps track of the ministries assisted by the Sunrise family and service logs may be accessed by staff/church volunteers.
