Request for Volunteers

Last Updated On January 6, 2020 By Letter Writing Leave a Comment

Volunteers are people who offer themselves for any service or wish to contribute their time, effort, and sometimes money for a cause and do not expect any monetary gains in return. Volunteers are required in many fields, especially for providing relief or for empowering the poor and needy or similar community-based help. Volunteers make a real difference in the lives of people and organizations in need. Being a volunteer is a privilege and a responsibility.

In many cases, Government and non-government organizations write letters requesting for volunteers to different organizations to have enough workforce and funds to conduct a planned event successfully. Usually, the events undertaken by NGOs are social like the planting of trees, conducting blood donation camps, visiting nursing homes to spend some time with older adults, attending a seminar in backward areas on social issues and making people aware, etc.

Dear Mr./ Ms/ Mrs.,______(Name of the recipient)

It is a pleasure of the Kind Hearts Foundation to have had your volunteers in assisting us in our previous undertakings. I am writing to make another request for volunteers from your esteemed organization once more, as Kind Hearts has undertaken another charitable project called Feed One Clothe One.

This initiative requires a sufficient workforce in its food and clothing distribution, where every volunteer should contribute 3-4 hours per week at the distribution center. This project will last three months starting from May 2009.

Kind Hearts would be most grateful if your students and staff will respond to this request quickly to assist in this charitable project. We look forward to your prompt affirmative response.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
