High Priority Needs
a. Rounding out our Board of Directors. This is a high impact, unpaid position. You can help steer the non-profit company and have meaningful and direct impact into our success. We do have a secretary and treasurer currently but we cannot get in touch with them so the seats are open.
b. Sit on our advisory panel. You don’t have to be a doctor or educated on the matter. These positions have first hand knowledge of living with sicknesses, addiction, disabilities, and loss of life. The roles help create and customize services for their area of knowledge. These are non-voting unpaid positions but do sit in on most board meetings unless we are holding an executive planning meeting.
c. Direct donations. No one here gets paid but it does take money for us to keep going and honestly our funds are non-existant. If you donate through the general donation link at the top of the website, that money goes to help us keep the lights on. We need an office, possibly a warehouse, tax and legal representation and more. Donations do NOT go to paying any volunteer which works with Outreach25 and we do not have employees.
d. Books. We can’t take damaged books or books that are just falling apart but never judge a book by its cover. You can always send in books to us at any time. Please read about Books For Blessings under the services menu link.
Community Needs
1. Invite us to your church to speak. We are a Christian organization and if you’re within 50 miles of Maryville, TN we are happy to come speak on Sunday mornings. Outreach25 is a Christian organization and our message is built off of Matthew 25 and takes about the length of a typical service. If you’re interested, reach us through the contact form. In fact, with proper planning we will even bring the old truck and fill it up with books your congregation brings in as part of our Books For Blessings service. We can discuss this in advance and really plan for it.
2. Become a scout for the needy. We need people to help. Although we try to help anyone we can, we focus on those that are critically sick or injured, disabled, or terminal and their families. We do more than just fundraising. We can coordinate home repairs for veterans and the elderly that can’t really help themselves. All you have to do is refer people to us. Help us grow.
3. Sponsor our organization. If you own a business you can sponsor us. We have five different levels of participation. We can only offer a link to your website but sponsoring us shows your community that you are looking out for the least of these. More information is available under the sponsor page.
4. Host a community book drive. Books For Blessings is a unique service we offer where books that people don’t want can be donated and turned into financial blessings which help others. Every dollar counts and this is a great way to help us grow. Reach us through the contact form if you want to host a book drop off event.
5. If you have a business offering services like lawn mowing, home repair, renovation, or cleaning, reach out to us. We are not just fundraisers. We want to physically help people
