The Volunteer Respite Care Program is part of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin- Community Services. The main goal of the program is to provide community based respite events for families with children with special needs and their siblings to help reduce instances of child abuse and neglect. The program offers respite care to special needs children and their siblings, ages 0-21, in a supervised, safe, and supportive day camp-like setting.  Approximately 65 children attend each event, with each child being matched with a community volunteer, totally 150 attendees.

At each event a snack and lunch are provided to the children and volunteers that join us for the day.  The sponsorship of an event meal would have a significantly positive impact on the program.  This sponsorship could come in various forms- i.e. grocery store gift card, restaurant gift card, coordination and purchasing of the meal from a local restaurant to be delivered to an event site, etc.  If this opportunity is of interest to you, please respond to this post and a program coordinator will be in contact to explore further.

You work in a team of two to survey market visitors about their spending habits and overall market experience. We complete a visitor survey at least 4 times each season.

Responsibilities: One person counts the number of people that pass by and then notifies the survey giver of the 24th person. The survey giver then gets survey responses from that person while the counter continues to count the next 24 people. Counting/surveying begins at 8:20 a.m. and ends at noon.

Stop at the Information Booth to get a clipboard and receive your designated space assignment, then help track the number of visitors at the Market. A minimum of 6 counters are needed to take a visitor count, so this a great option for groups! We complete a visitor count at least 4 times each season.

Responsibilities: Stand at a designated spot and count the number of people who enter the market from that point for the first twenty minutes of each hour. Counting begins before the market opens and then occurs from 8‐8:20, 9‐9:20, 10‐10:20, and 11‐11:20. Between counting shifts, visitor counters will be asked to assist with picking up vendor sales slips from the vendors near their counting site.

Flip the Setup Volunteer description inside out and get Main Street back to pre‐market condition. Help the DFP Staff bring market supplies back to 131 S. Main St. and remove street barricades.

Responsibilities: Roll up your sleeves! When the tornado sirens blow at noon, the tear down can officially begin. Break down tents, load cars and carts, remove signage and return all items to the storage space on Portland Street. Then street barricade removal occurs as soon as all vendors have left the market space.

You are the crack‐of‐dawn, welcoming beacon for our hard‐working vendors as they arrive to begin their day at our market! Join the DFP Staff at 131 S. Main St. Suite 101 to help cart supplies to their Market locations and setup street barricades.

Responsibilities: Roll up your sleeves! We hit the ground running, moving barricades to close Main Street, setting up the Information Booth, placing directional signs, hauling out sound equipment, and any other week specific supplies. In short, volunteers will assist with whatever is needed to be open to the public at 8 a.m. and have it ready to host our wonderful customers and any of the day's planned activities.

SVDP Neenah welcomes court-ordered community service. Background checks will be performed. Registered sex offenders and anyone with retail theft in the last 5 years will not be allowed to volunteer. SVDP reserves the right to deny any application. 

Complete your service hours in our friendly store. You will receive and tour and a small orientation on the first day of volunteering.

Be a part of our largest and most in-need-of-help department. Apparel is always plentiful and you can help at various stages of processing. Each piece is checked four times for quality. the First in donations, second by the apparel supervisor, third by the price processors, and the last time by the rack runners. This process allows us to keep our overflowing sales floor stocked with the best clothes for the community. Thankfully NO clothes are sent to the landfill that comes through Svdp.  

Price Processing- If you enjoy working around others and the idea of tagging clothes then price processing, offers a friendly setting. When you work in price processing you sit at an apparel station where you take carts that are separated by price and tag and hang the clothes on a hanger by size. These stations are in the center of the warehouse and a social hub. Some math is required at times but we will train you. 

Rack runners- Do you like to keep moving? Organizing and color coding? Rack runners take racks of pre-priced clothes and merchandise them on the sales floor. Rack runners also help to maintain the dressing rooms and return racks. This is a great option for anyone who loves clothes and enjoys social interactions. Rack runners spend the most time on the sales floor and therefore they get to know the customers.
