Rant: My neighborhood group just hit 500 active members this month.
It's wild because we started with just 12 people coordinating food drives. Now we're managing a community garden and a tool library, but it's getting chaotic. How do you keep a big volunteer group organized without burning out the core team?

Our tool library turned into a free-for-all before we made a simple sign-out sheet.

Yeah, that sign-out sheet is the bare minimum... we learned the hard way that you need to add a return date column and actually check it. People would just take stuff indefinitely, and then you're stuck buying another cordless drill because yours is in someone's garage for six months. It's wild how a simple piece of paper can save so much money and arguing.
