InsideHollySprings.com Helps Leading Volunteer Matching Web Site Put the Power of Technology to Good Use

Holly Springs, NC – July 18, 2008 – Andria Lake creator of InsideHollySprings.com has demonstrated her support for a civic engagement in Holly Springs through an innovative philanthropic partnership with VolunteerMatch, the national nonprofit organization whose Web service, www.volunteermatch.org, is the nation's leading destination on the Web for volunteer matching.

Since 1998, the VolunteerMatch Web service has generated more than 3.6 million volunteer referrals to U.S. charities in ZIP codes around the country. Through VolunteerMatch's "Adopt-A-ZIP" program, sponsors can show their support for local volunteer programs that help tutor our children, protect our environment, feed our hungry, care for our sick, inspire our artists, champion our hopes, and prepare for our future.

InsideHollySprings.com will sponsor the 27540 zip code for one year -- in effect, underwriting VolunteerMatch's costs to support users in that part of 27540. The program is modeled after the popular Adopt-A-Highway programs that enable local individuals and organizations to sponsor clean up efforts along roads in local communities.

"We're delighted that Andria Lake of InsideHollySprings.com recognizes the important role VolunteerMatch plays in helping good people and good causes connect in Holly Springs said Robert J. Rosenthal, director of communications for VolunteerMatch. "Together we are putting the power of technology to good use one ZIP code at a time."
