Community Involvement

Connect for a Cause
A Local Business Collaboration to Benefit Noble Causes

Are you a business owner who would like to help others but can't seem to squeeze it into your already overbooked schedule? We may have the solution for you.

Connect for a Cause was created because Missy Gerber, Organizers Northwest, saw an opportunity to build business relationships through volunteering. There is no set schedule but the goal is four events per year. The events are not tied to any one group so they can take place in a public space, a private home, or at the non-profit itself. There are no annual dues and each event is priced separately. We are trying very hard to keep the cost in the $25 - $30 range. Some may be less, some more, but we always have fun! The people that we have attracted are exactly the right fit for us: they enjoy helping others. We only want to play with nice people!

If you are interested in attending an event, please email Missy at missy@OrganizersNW.com, with "Please Add Me To CFC" in the subject line. You will be invited to any future events.

Charitable Networking Event at the Oregon Food Bank

We just wrapped up an evening of business networking for the greater good at the Oregon Food Bank and felt it was a smashing success! Missy Gerber and her team from Organizers NW volunteered to prepare seasonal fruits for distribution and meet other likeminded businesses. Missy has been to her share of networking events and was inspired, along with Michael Thompson from Market Accelerators, to organize an event that combined networking with helping others.

That evening, the volunteers bagged over 25,000 pounds of fruit for those in need!

Organizers NW will be helping to organize more charitable networking events in the future, so if you are a local business owner who would like to get involved, please check back often to keep current on upcoming events.
