We have delivery driver opportunities for our Meals on Wheels program in Sussex. Drivers deliver meals to homebound individuals unable to prepare meals for themselves. Receiving these meals assures these seniors proper nutrition as well as the independence to remain in their own homes.

We ask drivers to volunteer once a week Monday - Friday, no major holidays between the hours of 11:00 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. Schedules are flexible and mileage reimbursement is available.

Application processors work within an animal adoption software program.  The program provides detailed information about each cat adoption applicant. The processor uses this information to follow several steps in making a decision about whether the applicant meets criteria for adoption.

Once the steps are completed, the processor updates the software program on the status for that applicant. If approved the processor sends the application on to an adoption coordinator.

The steps can usually be completed for four applicants within 2-3 hours. If information is requested of applicants or calls are not completed to vets or landlords, more time during the day can be required. In addition to processing applications, the processor monitors a 9 Lives email account for messages from applicants as well as a chat conversation with other 9 Lives personnel.

Time required:  1 and ½ day shift.  First day is following application processing steps for up to 4 applicants.  Second day is follow-up for those applicants if needed.  Volunteers usually work one to two shifts per week.  The days of the week for work can be arranged.

I am looking for someone to come to our facility on a monthly basis (or bi-weekly, depending on the current needs) for a couple hours to offer help to our residents with their technology! It is typically simple tasks such as sending emails, coping links, sharing photos, changing settings, etc. 

Host a Move-In Kit Drive at your workplace, place of worship, or school and help families moving from homelessness to housing. A Move-In Kit can include:

However, there is no wrong recipe for a Move-In Kit. All household items are welcome and help families establish a fresh start. Please note that Hope House cannot accept furniture or large appliances due to limited capacity.

Why Your Drive Matters

At 6 years old, a significant portion of Brielle’s experience included being homeless. Brielle’s family had been without housing for a year, doubling up with family and friends and when that was no longer an option, staying in emergency shelters before being connected with Hope House and moving into an apartment. Shortly after Brielle’s family moved into the apartment, their Case Manager, Leslie, visited with a move-in kit of household items and cleaning supplies. Something case managers at Hope House can do with the support of your donations.

Brielle excitedly greeted Leslie, gave her a big hug, and as her family went through the supplies, she found the dish detergent and said excitedly, “and now we get to wash our own dishes!” Brielle’s excitement for a task many take for granted is a reminder of the power of your support - providing stability, dignity, and the comfort of home to families.

How to Host a Drive

Hosting a drive is easy and you know your community best. We suggest having solid start and end dates for taking collections, sharing stories like the one above, and leaning into the strengths of your workplace, place of worship, or community. Hope House can provide signs and speak to your group (when available). We do ask that donations be dropped off at Hope House (209 W. Orchard St., Milwaukee, WI) at the end of the drive as we have limited capacity for pick-ups. Schedule drop off in advance and we'll be happy to give you a tour and share more of the amazing work being done together!

Meta House's Celebrating Families! program needs volunteers!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Our Celebrating Families! program has a 13-week curriculum that seeks to rebuild families and break the generational cycle of addiction through age-appropriate, supportive group activities. Each week, our families share an opening meal together. Participants then break off into groups, by age, to discuss topics like anger management, making healthy choices, and goal setting. The program promotes successful family reunification by providing participants with the skills, information, and insight to foster and support healthy family relationships and futures.

DETAILS

We are actively seeking volunteers to help with set up (heating up food, setting out plates and utensils), serving dinner buffet style, and cleaning up (wiping down tables, packaging leftovers, sweeping, garbage to dumpsters) meals. Volunteers are needed Wednesdays from 4:30-6:15 pm. The program runs from 8/20/2025-11/12/2025.

This can be a one-time or ongoing commitment.

Looking for more information? Are you and/or your group able to support our families? Contact Claudia at cbleimund@metahouse.org or 414-977-5823 to sign up today!
