Notes

Lets organizations create needs that repeat on a schedule instead of rebuilding the same request each time.

  • Supports weekly, monthly, seasonal, and event-based needs.
  • Works for ongoing volunteers, supplies, food support, mentoring, and service opportunities.
  • Reduces admin time for repeat requests.
  • Keeps recurring opportunities visible and organized.





Problem: Village cadence requires easy monthly/weekly repeats (e.g., staff lounge snacks).

Change:

  • Add Recurrence to needs: frequency=[none|weekly|monthly], by_day, by_week, end_date.
  • Auto‑generate upcoming instances and auto‑expire past instances.
  • Champion can create one master need; system generates visible “current” instance.

Email UX: champions can highlight 2–3 current recurring items in follow‑ups.
