All about CharityTracker

Several days ago (on the same day as our Clanton meeting) Greg and I headed to the City-County Public Library in Montgomery. We did a presentation for about 15 agencies. They were invited by Jo Ann Johnson and Camilla Prince (Alabama VOAD Director) to learn about CharityTracker. The energy in the room was amazing; it seemed people really caught a glimpse of how CharityTracker could help their community. Of course, the truth of the matter is that CharityTracker is just a tool to be used in the hands of communities who have a passion to see people work together. There were many great questions at that meeting, the biggest one of all, once again, was about security. (Follow this link to a blog post that has a brief breakdown of our security in the fourth paragraph.)

After the meeting, we got to speak with many passionate people and hear their ideas. I talked with someone from the local Domestic Abuse Agency, someone from DHR, another person from a local food bank, as well as some folks from a couple of churches in the area. Everyone had one thing in common – they wanted to work together to serve their community. They weren’t held back by politics, territorialism, or differences in religion or philosophy. In my opinion, they had a true vision of servanthood and they genuinely wanted to work together to serve their community.

I am sure there are many others just like them scattered throughout the country looking for the same thing. We want to find them, and spread the word.
