Today at Try Change we bring you yet another organization that is making a difference in our community. As stated on their website Pass It Along was founded in December 2001. Pass It Along provides a way for individuals to make a difference in their community through meaningful volunteer service. In 2002, PIA became a member of the national organization Hands On Network.
Pass It Along serves three populations – volunteers, nonprofit community based organizations, and individuals that are in need of volunteer support. They offer well-managed, meaningful, and flexibly scheduled service projects in ten fields of interest.
Here's some of their accomplishments so far:
*Over 200 service projects were completed through 34 different programs throughout the Sussex, Northern Morris, and Warren County area
*Introduced 9 new programs
*Over 3,500 volunteers gave their time to PIA last year
*Over 9,900 people were served by our programs and projects
*Over 10,600 volunteer hours were completed in 2007
*The dollar value of a volunteer in the state of New Jersey in 2005 was $21.88; this translates to our organization putting $231,100 back into our community
*For every hour PIA was open, we gave back over 5 hours of service to the community
