Most service requests are filled by volunteers signing up online. We primarily actively seek volunteers for only for medical appointments when it is less than four working days until the service is needed, there is reason to believe that the service will be unusually hard to fill, or the member has requested a specific volunteer and we think this is a reasonable request.
1. If it is not already up, bring up the Service and Service Requests 
screen which shows all service requests. A service request which has not yet been accepted by a volunteer should have a status of "Requested" and have no volunteer's name listed in the calendar.

2. In general, we only consider services occurring in the next four working days. Make sure that all the services that are listed have no volunteer assigned. If one is, this is a clerical error and the SR status may be wrong. Our current practice is only to place calls for rides to medical appointments. We do not (usually) call volunteers for other types of services, but use your judgement.
