Charity Tasks on MLK day?

If you have not heard... WheelDoggy.com is starting out in the Greater Danbury (CT) area but no matter where you are, you can sign up as either a Helper (to do tasks) or a Customer (to post tasks).

Charity Tasks...
What do you think about the idea of "Charity tasks" where a charity would post a task, Helpers would bid to do it and a customer would offer to pay for it (as a donation to the charity)?

The MLK day / Day of Service got me thinking along these lines and while it would take some additional programming (and investment of money) on the WheelDoggy.com website, I think it could have a very positive impact on the community !

Leave a comment below to let us know what you think !

Would you participate as a Helper or a Donator (or a Charity) if we set it up?

  1. A friend of mine suggested...

    [My company / div. of Fortune 500] has something similar called Volunteer Match- where nonprofit organizations can list tasks/duties for an upcoming event (eg manchstr road race, united way, habitat etc) by location and prospective voluteers can search by task location-to match up with the organizer.

    Expand your model to nonprofits and wheel doggy will explode with activity. Also great never ending pr opportunity for TV and talk show hosts. United way alone would put you on the map. College kids would find it valuable for admissions and nonprofits would benefit from single source engine.
