The birth of OrgAction as a Volunteer Management Solution

I had a strong desire to do something fun and technical that would serve the nonprofit industry. I was browsing Volunteer Match for opportunities and realized that many non-profit groups were looking for volunteer coordinators. I signed up with Catholic Charities of Central Texas and started compiling schedules for their food pantry. Manually compiling sign up sheets into an Excel sheet proved boring, tedious, and error prone, so I decided to get started on building a volunteer scheduling service to handle the task. After a few quarters, I folded the scheduling service I created for CCCTX into a database for tracking volunteer contact information and OrgAction was born.
