Line Up Volunteers

This will be a short post because we all know volunteers are one of the most important components to a successful holiday fundraiser.  It's important to get your roster of volunteers lined up early.  Having everyone organized from the beginning ensures that each step of the holiday fundraiser is coherent and efficient.  Delegating duties throughout your volunteers evenly also keeps the workload lighter for everyone.  You may want to form sub-committees or groups for different duties within the evergreens fundraiser.  Here are some examples;  Advertising, Final Order tallying, Treasurer, Product distribution, Seller wrangling.  You of course may add to or amend this list as needed for your nonprofit organization's needs.  If you can clearly spell out what you need from all your volunteers, that is definitely helpful.  And always remember to thank them and give them the appreciation they deserve!
