Actions speak louder than money? Charity work doesn’t always have to involve opening your wallet. So thinks the team at ThatHelps. They created an app platform built on the old-school premise that social change comes from investing your time and energy; except with a modern 21st century twist. DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS has moved to the digital age and now volunteers of the physical space become virtual volunteers. Helping right there from the comfort of their own homes.
Summary of ThatHelps App
ThatHelps app was created by a team of optimists with a desire to “make altruism, advocacy, and activism easier—and more fun.” App users can choose from 16 areas of interest from Animal Welfare to Veterans’ Support. Once users have identified areas of interest, they are then asked to select specific tasks associated with these causes.
