Brief Explanation

PROBLEM Willing Hearts is a volunteer-based organization that feeds the poor. However, they're struggling to get volunteers because most people don't have time to help. SOLUTION We looked for the people who did have time: bored teenagers. Using just a social networking account and one hashtag. Teens use Twitter hashtags to express their feelings. So by searching for #BORED, we found teens with so much free time, they're dying to do something. We replied to their tweets and invited them to volunteer. RESULTS 34% of targets responded. Volunteers grew from 35/day to 50/day average, a 42.8% increase without spending anything.
