Sixty minutes. That’s all it takes to have your groceries picked, packed, and delivered straight to your door. Checkers Sixty60 has changed the way South Africans shop, making convenience king and efficiency non-negotiable. No more long queues, no more wasted time, just a few taps on an app, and boom, what you need is on its way.
Now, what if doing good was just as simple?
The Power of Convenience: Why Volunteering Needs a Sixty60 Moment!
Traditionally, volunteering has been thought of as time-consuming, showing up in person, clearing schedules, making logistical arrangements. But in a world where we can order sushi, book flights, and even consult doctors online, why should giving back still be so complicated?
Enter virtual volunteering, where making an impact can be as seamless as ordering a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk. Need to mentor a student? Click a button and schedule a 30-minute online session. Want to help an NPO with admin work? Do it from your laptop in between meetings. Got a skill that could benefit a cause? Offer it up in the same way you’d order a last-minute birthday cake.
Doing Good, On-Demand
Just like Checkers Sixty60 has made shopping effortless, virtual volunteering removes the barriers to making a difference. No travel time, no complicated coordination, just instant access to opportunities that fit into the life of potential volunteers. Dare we throw in the ‘life just gets in the way sometimes’ excuse for those good-willed individuals who plan to do more good, but just never seem to get around to it?
Just like we all got used to the idea of groceries arriving at our doorstep in under an hour, we can shift our mindset about volunteering. Giving back doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be accessible. This is where we come in, The Brownie Points platform directly connects organisations in need of support with donors who might be looking for a way to make a difference in a limited amount of time, whilst using the resources they have available to them.
Here is our question to you – How can people support your organisation from their smartphone? If you can identify just one solution, then you are one click away from reaching volunteers who are ready to help, by registering your NPO with Brownie Points!
