Mission
PMD seeks to create a world in which people and businesses are socially aware and engaged in their communities such that they approach volunteerism by learning about problems and needs, becoming familiar with local charities that are working to address them, volunteering reliably, and providing other needed resources to make a difference.
Vision
Our vision is for everyone to be able to
volunteer productively a few times a year so that together we make a real difference
throughout the year while learning important things along the way.
Philosophy
People Making a Difference (PMD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes informed and responsible volunteerism by involving people in tangible work that meets local needs and by assisting companies in building successful community involvement programs that:
- Produce appreciable results while conserving recipients’ limited resources
- Educate volunteers about broader issues
- Bring people together to make a difference
