In short
Gumb is an app for church charities and outreach groups. Coordinators plan community meals, visiting services, clothing exchanges or collections as events, check volunteers' availability and mark with a star who takes on the assignment. Single jobs such as cooking, serving or driving sit on the event, partners without a Gumb account are reached by email, and participation is analyzed as an Excel file.

FAQ: the app for faith-based charities
How do I plan a weekly community meal?
Create the meal as a recurring event. Volunteers say yes or no every week, and jobs such as cooking, serving or washing up are handed out right on the event.
How do I decide who takes on the assignment?
First check availability, then mark with a star who is scheduled. If you want, reminders go only to the scheduled volunteers.
Can volunteers without a smartphone take part?
Admins can answer on behalf of members. Gumb also runs in the browser, with no app needed.
How do I inform partners and donors without a Gumb account?
By email straight from the web app: admins and group leaders attach files and add up to 100 external addresses. Who else got the email stays hidden.
How do I show the assignments in the annual report?
Under Statistics you export participation as an Excel file, filtered by period, event type, group and members.
