It handles over 500 volunteer registrations per week and accepts credit card donations and manages/processes recurring donations on a schedule, comprehensive reports.

    It also enforces volunteer limits at three levels and generates name tags, labels, check-in sheets, and other documents for service days along with SMS/MMS/email campaigns and notifications.
