Hunger doesn’t stick to business hours. A phone system shouldn’t either. 📞❤️

For food banks and vital non-profits, a missed call is more than just a missed connection—it could be a family in crisis going without a meal or a donor walking away.

But with staff already stretched thin, how can you be there 24/7?

At GREENstick, we believe technology should amplify humanity. Our AI Voice Receptionist acts as a force multiplier for non-profits by:
✅ Answering calls 24/7/365 (nights, weekends, holidays).
✅ Automating intake forms to preserve client dignity.
✅ Speaking multiple languages to remove barriers to access.
✅ Freeing up your staff to focus on complex casework, not the phone.

We are committed to donating capacity and relief to the local heroes who need it most.

The Human Story Behind the Numbers: How Branded Boro is Connecting with Wilkes County.

Behind every incredible number on this chart, there is a person. A neighbor. A new connection.

It’s been an absolutely inspiring 12-month journey watching Branded Boro Boutique transform their digital presence. But when we look at this infographic, we don't just see data points; we see a thriving local heartbeat.

That massive 351% increase in sales and those 10,000 active website visitors aren't just cold statistics. They represent thousands of new faces from right here in Wilkes County and surrounding neighborhoods across North Carolina.

It represents the privilege Branded Boro has of continuously and tirelessly serving their community. It’s more outfits for special occasions, more perfect gifts found, and thousands more local customers discovering a business that is proud to serve them. It’s proof that when a local business connects with its people, magic happens.

This success story, powered by their partnership with GREENstick.io, proves a vital reality for business owners today.

In this digital era, an ongoing, strategic organic SEO campaign isn't just a marketing line item—it's a survival strategy. It is the essential engine that ensures you don't just stay in business, but that you stay busy with a continuous stream of new customers who are actively searching for exactly what you offer.

We are incredibly proud of the Branded Boro team and honored to help them connect with so many amazing people throughout our region. Here’s to continued growth and serving our community! 🥂

This Giving Tuesday, we aren’t just giving back. We’re giving the gift of time. 🕒

At GREENstick, our motto is that technology amplifies humanity, not replaces it. We know that our local nonprofits are staffed by heroes who are often spending precious hours on repetitive administrative tasks instead of their core mission.

We will award one deserving local nonprofit a complimentary 6-Month Digital Transformation Package. The winner will receive free use and white-glove setup of either our AI Virtual Assistant (to handle website FAQs and chats), our Content Creator (to create, schedule, and publish content for social media and websites), or our AI Reputation Specialist (to manage and respond to reviews).

Do you know a local organization whose staff is buried in admin tasks? Nominate them to receive this technology boost so they can get back to doing what they do best—helping people.
