Serve.Love, from Tulsa, Oklahoma

Built for the people who show up.

Serve.Love puts your volunteer opportunities where neighbors are already searching for a place to serve. Free for the nonprofits doing the work.

Why Serve.Love

We're restarting the volunteer revolution.

Fewer volunteers, more need. Serve.Love is the network closing that gap: real missions, put back in front of the people and churches who want to serve their community.

Not one more tool for the volunteers you already have. A way to bring more of them back.

Volunteers, at a record low The need, still climbing

Volunteering fell 30% to 23% of U.S. adults, 2019 to 2021, the steepest drop on record (AmeriCorps and the U.S. Census Bureau). Nonprofits: about 2 million and rising (Statista, AmeriCorps, USAFacts).

It started as one page of food pantries after a tornado hit Claremore, Oklahoma, and strangers found it. Our story →

How you get found

List it once. Get found.

Found, not just scheduled. Your opportunity reaches people already searching to serve, and they can sign up on the spot.

This is how a neighbor finds your opportunity. Example listing; yours shows your real name, place, and shifts.

  1. You list it once.

    A park cleanup, a tutoring hour, six people for Saturday. Use our free tool, or point us at the sign-up form you already have.

  2. We put it on the network.

    Your opportunity goes where people are already looking for a way to help, so you’re not the one chasing them down.

  3. They sign up. You see the impact.

    Name, phone, a shift. No account first, no app to install. You get the roster and every hour, tracked and reportable, so you can show what it added up to: houses fixed, meals served, kids helped.

The network

One door. Two sides.

Organizations list the work. Neighbors go looking for it. Serve.Love is where they meet. That is a network, not an app.

The network today

Churches, shelters, tutoring programs, parks crews, food banks, disaster teams, all up and findable right now. Every week more opportunities go up, and more of those searches land on them. See what is near you.

Food is one category of need inside the network, and for a lot of neighbors it is the first door they walk through.

The software

And it’s real software.

Sign-ups, scheduling, hours, check-in, waivers, reports, and the mobile apps. The same tools whether you run one event or forty a week. Free, ad-free, nothing locked behind a tier.

The Serve.Love dashboard: a list of volunteers with hours served and last event, with one-click import and export

The invitation

Join the network. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

It’s free and takes minutes, and you don’t even have to switch tools. Keep the volunteer software you already use, and we’ll put your sign-up form on the network where people find it. If you want to serve, we’ll show you where.

Prefer to run it all in one place? Our software is free for nonprofits, forever: listing, sign-ups, scheduling, hours, the apps. Not a trial. Food banks and county-scale programs that need more can see Partner.
