We need help marketing a high impact nonprofit. In the past 13 years we have distributed over 260,000 items and nobody knows about us. Bridging AZ Furniture Bank www.bridgingaz.org needs help setting up small special events. Happy hours, bed races, game/poker nights, donor thank you and donor cultivation type events. Your ideas or ours.

Best thing is this is a part time paid AmeriCorps position 320 hour commitment to be finished before August 31st. You will receive a total stipend of $2,652 plus a $1,230 educational award that can be used for student loans, continuing education or passed down to immediate family for college tuition.

Help identify a type of event, venue and help get donations for silent auction and raffle prizes. It takes 30 hours of planning of planning to conduct a successful small (20-100 people) event. Lots of fun and the benefits to the community are huge - just think of a child without a bed or a young family without a kitchen table or cookware - Bridging AZ provides these type of items but needs volunteers to help coordinate our efforts.
