VolunteerReminder → Maria
Hi Maria! Reminder: you’re on for Tue 9–11am at the food pantry. Reply YES to confirm.
YES — see you there!
Confirmed · Tuesday covered
```

## Fewer no-shows, one place for everyone

> It is very important that our organization doesn’t have any no-shows. We needed a
> simple way to remind our monthly and bi-monthly volunteers. VolunteerReminder fit
> perfectly and is now also my central volunteer database, replacing Google Calendar and
> Excel. Highly recommended!

## Three steps, then it runs itself

Set it up once. From then on, the reminders go out on their own and the replies come back
to you.

### Set your schedule

Add who volunteers, for what, and when it repeats — weekly, monthly, or specific dates.
Group names and rosters keep it tidy.

### We send the reminders

Friendly email and text reminders go out ahead of each shift — as far ahead as you
like, and more than once if you want.

### Volunteers show up

They reply YES to confirm, and you see who’s covered at a glance. Fewer no-shows, less
chasing, every week.

## Plans from $3 a month

Texts included on Deluxe and Pro as scheduled shift reminders, not a per-text meter.
