Quoting from Independent Sector’s Giving and Volunteering in the United States, 
1999, Volunteermatch reports that “Of those who volunteer, 41% pursued intermittent,
one-time opportunities while 39% of volunteers preferred to serve at a regularly
scheduled time (i.e., weekly, monthly, etc.). A mere 9% reported a preference for
volunteering only seasonally (e.g., during Christmas or Hannukah).
