CNN
Covid-19 has presented challenges to both staffing and financing for charitable causes around the world. This year, non-profits are using National Volunteer Week (April 18-24) to ramp up support.
"There's never been a more important time than now to get involved," said Laura Plato, chief solutions officer for Volunteer Match, an online platform that connects causes to people who want to be of service. According to a study by Fidelity Charitable, the coronavirus pandemic sharply impacted volunteer efforts, with two out of three volunteers decreasing or completely halting their work.More Related News
