Introduction

Organizing a neighborhood clothing drive or arranging the soccer team carpool can be quite rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Thankfully, HP all-in-one (AIO) printers can help you multitask like never before—print, make copies, scan in documents, or even fax with some models. This simple guide highlights creative ways your AIO printer can make volunteering a pleasure.

Organize a fundraiser, party or event

volunteer flyers







Whether you are in charge of the church bake sale or the neighborhood block party, getting the public’s attention is key. Here are a few ideas for how an HP all in one printer can help spread the word:

  • Print full color flyers, brochures, and postcards that look professional at a fraction of the cost.
  • Fax press releases announcing your event right from your home.
  • Make copies of donation or waiver forms.
  • Print mailing labels to use on invitations, donation requests, and thank you cards..

To make organizing even easier, use free volunteer templates from the HP Activity Center. They are full color, customizable, and easy to use. Check out the party kitsbusiness flyers, and brochures sections for more ideas.

Getting your extended family all together can be a big undertaking, so let your all-in-one printer make the planning easy.
