One of my favorite parts of CharityFocus model is that it 's demand pull . We do n't have to waste our time predicting , because we 're always half a step behind our amibition . Or as I once said to some friends : Being volunteer run dramatically reduces your overhead and allows you to deliver services for free ; and because the barrier to entry is reduced , it attracts people and shifts the traditional supply - push model to a demand - pull one . Our " business plans " are always a step behind the future , right smack in the present ; ie .

Question: What happens if there are no volunteers ?
Answer: We hire people from temp agencies to act as volunteers .None of the above choices .I provide 100 % of the service .We consider new volunteer recruitment tactics .
