Seeking Volunteers to strengthen the Christian relationship Love INC begins with our Neighbors.

This person will make monthly phone calls to Neighbors in the community who have called Love INC for help.  Based on previous information captured about each Neighbor, this person will determine strategic questions to begin conversation, strengthening our relationship and capacity to walk alongside them in their struggles. One hour or two, we would love you to be a part of working with our Neighbors and join our team.  

Every week, 350 Madison's Divest & Defund Team comes together to fight against the largest funders of the climate crisis. If you want to be able to make a difference by taking climate action in a safe, socially distanced way, try coming to one of our weekly "Actionars" (think webinar but action focused!)

Each shift is about an hour and takes place on Saturdays at 11am. Meet like minded people, push back on companies that are taking advantage of the environment, and help grow the movement to "Stop the Money Pipeline" to big oil companies. 

Are you looking to get out of the house and be active. Looking for a way to meet kind people yet not doing customer service? Do you like to organization and make things neat? Good News Project is looking for someone to help with office cleaning one day per week. Time is flexible and negotiable.

In order to do so, we rely on the generous support of book donations. We have many ways to donate, including donations of physical copies of new or like new books, purchasing books off of our wishlist, and hosting book drives. 

If you would like to drop off new or like new children’s books, please read our donation guidelines and then sign up to make a delivery appointment.

Don't have books to donate? Purchase us new books that we love from our wishlists!

Book drives are a great way for community organizations, businesses, youth groups and families to support MRP programs. Your group can select a goal, a timeframe, and start collecting high quality books.

Contact volunteer@madisonreadingproject.com with any questions. 

UCC Schools aims to encourage a love of reading and literacy among students of all ages. To do this, we need ample books available for children's home libraries as well as our classroom libraries. You can help by donating gently used books for ages 2-14.

Most books indicate what grades or ages it can be used for, or this information could be accessible via Amazon or preferred retailer. For ease of shopping, feel free to browse our Amazon Wish List. 

Please email Kiara Rosado at krosado@unitedcc.org to coordinate a book drive and schedule a drop-off. Thank you!

Great Marriages Mentoring Program

The greatest untapped resource to save marriages is couples with solid marriages willing to invest in other couples by sharing their testimony and example.

We invite couples who are passionate about marriage to use their gifts, abilities, and life experience to come

Most mentor couples do not recognize their potential to serve as mentors, but are identified by others as having a loving, committed marriage.

Curriculums

A mentor couple serves as a resource for couples who seek guidance and direction to address particular problems in their relationship. Mentors are trained with Prepare/Enrich materials on various skills like communication, conflict resolution, asking for forgiveness, etc. They also have access to our RelateWell curriculum and other resources for any given issue a couple may be facing. 

The mentoring sessions are designed to teach and allow practice in basic skills which enable couples to openly communicate, and enrich, nurture, and build a life-long relationship.

Mentor Requirements

A mentor couple does not have to have a perfect marriage, but should be a couple who is willing to share their experience and dedication to a lifelong commitment with others. We ask that couples be married 15+ years and be willing to invest time and energy in helping other couples. Great Marriages trains all mentors and provides the space and resources to help others.  Preferably, mentor couples should be faith-based as we offer both faith-based and non faith-based mentoring. 

Process to become a Great Marriages mentor:

Please email Jocelyn@great-marriages.org if you are interested in more information about becoming a mentor couple.

Thank you!

PURPOSE: Guests are appreciative when we offer Treat Bags at lunch, dinner, or as a snack throughout the day. They appreciate the delicious foods, the fun presentation, and the knowledge that someone in our community is thinking of them. Additionally, Treat Bags can be part of the many ways that guests’ basic and emotional needs are met, allowing them to better focus on their progress and goals.

DESCRIPTION: Your group will plan, purchase ingredients and assemble single-serving Treat Bags. These consist of disposable cellophane, plastic, or paper baggies filled with purchased or homemade snacks/sweets. This is a great at-home volunteer option for younger groups and families. You can also prepare them on-site and receive a tour. We ask for Treat Bags in increments of 30 (30, 60, 90, etc.).

NOTES: Homemade snacks, such as trail mix, puppy chow, and cookies, are welcome. For these items that lack labels/packaging, please date each baggie with a sharpie, referring to the day the food was made (this can be small, in the corner). Additionally, please. make sure any nuts or common allergens are more obviously labeled- we recommend using a white label sticker, with a printed or handwritten message.

- A handwritten card or note in each Treat Bag is not required but much appreciated. Similarly, paper baggies can be decorated. Please keep notes respectful and free of religious notions or personal contact information. A Guest House staff member will read through all cards- therefore, please either make them visible through the bag, or choose a resealable bag that we can access.

- We love offering guests fruit, but it can get mushy quickly in a baggie. Please include any fruit donations separately, and we will hand out with the Treat Bags.

- Single-serving drinks are not required but appreciated. Feel free to include in Treat Bag, or donate separately and we can hand out with the Treat Bags.

- This volunteer activity is specific to food and drink items. Please do not include hygiene items, gift cards, or money in Treat Bags

Allay's Hospice Companions bring comfort to patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear, and a helping hand.  When visiting, volunteers may offer to play music or a game, read to the patient, listen to his/her stories and memories, sit with a patient outside or go for a walk, or offer assistance with other non-medical tasks. There are times when volunteers may simply sit quietly while holding one's hand, letting the patient know that he or she is not alone. 

Allay's Compassionate Companions profoundly affect the quality of our patients' lives by simply sharing their time. The amount of time you give is flexible and scheduled around your availability. We do take your location into account to assign patient visits that are within or near your own community. 

Hospice companions receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills for meaningful visits with hospice patients and their families. 

Volunteer and patient safety are our top priority. We follow CDC guidelines & respect the Covid-19 protocols of our partner facilities. At this time, volunteers are asked to complete a self-screening checklist prior to visits, wear a mask during visits and, of course, adhere to standard precautions such as frequent handwashing. Allay will provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe practices can be followed.

Contact Peggy Czarnik, Volunteer Services Mngr, for more information: 262-317-5233 or pczarnik@allayhh.com

One of the most frequent requests made by Allay's hospice patients are for visits from a friendly, certified therapy dog or therapy cat. Therapy animals have the endearing quality of showing unconditional love & affection that brings joy to everyone. They are a remarkable source of comfort & companionship, as well as a welcome distraction from the daily routine for both hospice patients and their families. Contact with furry companions can be especially meaningful to patients who are no longer able to care for their own beloved pet. 

Would you be able to help us fulfill some of those requests within your own community?

While many pets provide love and companionship in the home, not all of them have the temperament suited for this type of service. We require all therapy animal teams must have completed training and assessment with a recognized Animal-Assisted Therapy program before visiting hospice patients. (And, the human-half will receive additional training related to hospice visitation.) 

Volunteer and patient safety are our top priority. We follow CDC guidelines & respect the Covid-19 protocols of our partner facilities. At this time, volunteers are asked to complete a self-screening checklist prior to visits, wear a mask during visits and, or course, adhere to standard precautions such as frequent handwashing. Allay will provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe practices can be followed.

Donate Today, You'll Save Lives Tomorrow 

About one hour is all it takes to provide the lifesaving gift of blood to patients in our local hospitals. Right here in our community, volunteer blood donors are connecting lives and sharing life through blood donation.

Blood donation couldn’t be more important. There is no substitute for blood, so when a local patient is facing cancer treatment, surgical procedures or the uncertainty of a traumatic injury, it’s volunteer donors who help ensure that the blood needed is on hand.

And the need is great. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood – that’s 35,000 blood donations needed every single day!

Volunteer blood donors respond to this need, and for that, we are extremely grateful. To that end, we do all that we can to ensure the best possible experience for our donors.

The moment you visit one of our donor centers or blood drives, our courteous, professional staff will work to make your visit brief, comfortable and something you’ll look forward to doing again (in eight weeks, we might add).

With your whole blood or platelet donation, your generous gesture could make all the difference for a local patient in need. Schedule your donation today and be a part of someone’s story. Donate today; you’ll save lives tomorrow. 

The Community Blood Center sees more than 1,200 volunteer blood donors every week.

Many donate to help their community. Others donate blood in honor of a friend or family member who has required a blood transfusion.

What makes volunteer blood donors so special? Blood cannot be made or manufactured. It’s a gift that can only be given from a volunteer donor.

Journey Together is a prison dog program that trains service dogs to help people with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  Our dogs spend the majority of their time being trained by inmates at the Oshkosh Correctional Institution.  However, to have the skills needed to be a successful service dog, our puppies need exposure to public places and events.

Volunteers schedule times that work in their schedule to take the dogs to locations for public access and exposure.  Grocery stores, department stores, youth events, parks and restaurants are all examples of places the dogs need to experience.  Our volunteers select the dates and times that fit their lifestyle.

JTSD provides orientation and training to new volunteers and ongoing training opportunities as well as group outings.

Horizon Home Care & Hospice is looking for a few beautiful souls to volunteer at our Lawlis Family Hospice In-Patient Unit, located on the second floor of Columbia, St. Mary's Hospital in Mequon.

As required, you should plan on 10-15 hours of orientation, broken out over several sessions and a few days. We will also provide you with training on direct patient care, so you are able to assist our nurses and aides with some essential functions at our hospice in-patient unit.

Looking for Victim Crisis Response Volunteers to Address Trauma

The Fox Cities Victim Crisis Response (VCR) Team is looking to expand its services within Winnebago County, specifically to the Oshkosh area. The VCR team is a professional volunteer organization designed to assist local police departments in providing support, assistance and resources to members of the community and their families who are victims/survivors of crime or who are in crisis. Trained VCR volunteers respond directly to the scene when requested by members of the partnering police agencies. Last year, the VCR program responded to an average of 300 emergency calls, serving 1,300 community members. Based on the recommendations and work of the Winnebago County Overdose Fatality Reviews and the lead from the Oshkosh Police Department, the VCR program is looking for 10 volunteers to be trained and to begin volunteering this fall, so this successful program can meet the needs of Oshkosh community members. 

VCR volunteers will be working within Winnebago and Outagamie counties for a minimum of 12 hours of on-call time per month. Ideal volunteers are over 18, successfully pass a background check, and people who are understanding, empathetic, and compassionate for those experiencing a traumatic event. Additionally volunteers would need to be reliable, to be respectful of law enforcement and first responders, have a personal cell phone with a data plan, have a valid driver’s license, have valid auto insurance and have a reliable vehicle. VCR volunteers respond with immediate assistance to support the needs of victims/survivors of crime and those in crisis, primarily with emotional support, safety, information, and community referrals; they enhance the quality of justice by fostering an increased willingness of victims/survivors and witnesses to cooperate with law enforcement after they have reported a crime; they assist law enforcement officers by attending to the immediate on-scene emotional needs of victims/survivors of crime and crisis; and they attend monthly training meetings to develop personal skills and team building.

All volunteers go through 24 hours of training and will be matched with VCR mentors. If you're interested please contact Volunteer Coordination and Community Outreach Manager, at info@victimcrisisresponse.org #920-422-8205 or apply here: https://victimcrisisresponse.org/volunteer-application/. Training will start this fall and applications are due by September 1st.

MVM is looking for volunteers to help us in our mission to educate and preserve the history of our military veterans. 

The museum currently has over sixteen thousand artifacts accessioned in its collection, ranging from small items like personal awards and ribbons on through the vehicles and a naval landing craft (Higgins Boat). The museum also receives many artifact donations from veterans and their families on a regular basis. The main goal of the museum at this point is to log the donation into our books and then catalog the donated artifacts into our computer database (a program called Past Perfect) as they come in, and catch up on a backlog of artifacts currently in the collection that are not entered in the database. For this job a person can come in any day of the week, once they have been trained in the entry system. As with our docents and cashiers, there is an expectation to put in a minimum of eight hours per month. More time put in monthly will also enable the volunteer to become and stay more proficient in the use of Past Perfect. Knowledge of military items like uniforms, weapons and hardware items is a definite plus in this job, as one has to be able enter in the dtatbase what the item is and then identify what grouping in Past Perfect it will fit under.
