Case Study: Valley Disaster Relief achieves streamlined event scheduling and accurate volunteer-hour reporting with Track It Forward

How Valley Disaster Relief Uses Track It Forward Event Calendar to Track Volunteer Hours

Valley Disaster Relief, a volunteer-driven nonprofit that clears dangerous trees after storms and on referrals, needed a low-cost, simple way to coordinate growing job requests and accurately track volunteer hours. To replace spreadsheets and streamline scheduling, they adopted the event calendar features of Track It Forward so they could post weekly jobs, let volunteers RSVP, and collect hours without complex setup.

Track It Forward’s event calendar, RSVP/sign-up, verification and reporting tools let co-director Kim Dreher upload weekly events, have volunteers register and receive notifications, verify hours, and automatically log data for instant charts and donor reports. That workflow helped Valley Disaster Relief manage 241 projects, 49 volunteers and 1,951 volunteer hours in 2019, handle a pandemic-driven surge in participation, and present clear metrics to donors to boost engagement.
