I'll give you the short version here on the blog and if you want to talk further, give me a jingle. NeedFillers used to be a system that I created that facilitated a few things: 1) It served as a reminder to local churches to serve the needs of their congregation and their communities and to participate together in doing so, 2) it allowed them to easily communicate about individuals who asked for help and keep a record of people's names who were not actually in need but leeching, 3) it promoted the needs of the community to each other and helped the congregations to know each others needs and fill them, not just with money, but with tangible items. It was all web based, but I had a problem with the local churches because they wanted to know what my mission statement was and who I was affiliated with before they would sign up. I'm not affiliated with anyone, I just wanted to make something they could use to solve some major problems I saw. So, it didn't work out. But, by starting with the people and the churches, we can go the other way around, and get them to do what needs to be done first, then put a web-based system in place to make it easier to get those things done more efficiently, without taking th human element out of it. Sean,
