Bluff Country Family Resources, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) dedicated to providing high-quality services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Houston County, MN, and surrounding communities. We began as Houston County Women's Resources in 1984. Information about our specific program services is located on the program’s website at bluffcountry.org.

Our mission at BCFR is to provide community education and non-judgmental, confidential crisis intervention, advocacy, support, and resources to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and those experiencing housing insecurity due to violence.

Board Member Responsibilities

Serve a minimum of one (2) two-year term on the Board. After the initial two-year term, members have the option to re-commit to their directorship on a year-by-year basis for up to a total of 6 years. 

Attend all board meetings. 

Dedicate 1-2 hours of volunteer time per month to BCFR as a director, 3-6 hours per month for executive committee members. 

Review executive director performance and compensation on an annual basis. 

The Board of Directors has two subcommittees. Each board member is expected to participate in at least one (1) of these subcommittees. Subcommittees should meet at least once between board meetings and be prepared to present updates.

Stay informed about board matters, come prepared for meetings, review and comment on minutes and reports, review and approve policies, and discuss and vote on issues that affect the organization. 

Advocate for the organization by adhering to bylaws, policies, and procedures, and understanding our mission, ongoing activities, services, finances, and operating environment. 

Actively engage in creating and carrying out the strategic plan and organizational goals.

Eating together is so valuable! Every Tuesday at 5 PM, Lighthouse Recovery Community Center hosts a family dinner for peers connected with LRCC. This family dinner often serves 15-20 people. We invite individuals or small groups (2-6 people max) to prepare a meal. Preparation may be done on-site or off. Serving and sharing in the meal are welcome, though optional. This is a wonderful way to get to know the peers and staff. The time commitment may range from 3 to 5 hours, depending on the meal. The on-site time commitment is much less if you decide to make the meal ahead and drop it off. Occasionally, there is the opportunity to prepare a "holiday meal" that we share on an alternate day. We can help offset food costs if that is a barrier to preparing a meal.

We love having our community visit!

Please call or email ahead for availability.

You will be asked to sign a privacy waiver when you volunteer.

We Need You!  Did you know that there are almost 40,000 cases of cancer diagnosed in the state of Wisconsin each year?  Here at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital - UW Cancer Center we do our part to support and comfort our local families dealing with a cancer diagnosis.  One way that the broader community can help is to create Chemo Care Kits to give to patients that receive their treatment here at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital - UW Cancer Center.  These kits are a real blessing for those receiving treatment.  They show care of the broader community, provide comfort, keep them 'entertained' during treatments and some items help 'overcome' impacts from the treatment. 

Chemo Care Kits can include such items as: hand sanitizer, warm fuzzy socks, hand warmers, sleep/eye masks, lotion, Lemon Drops, Crossword/Word Find puzzle books, journals, magazines, adult coloring books, color pencils/crayons, any items that can provide comfort or entertainment to the patient.  A small bag to store all of these items is super convenient.  Many of these items can be found at Dollar Tree or Dollar General.  

Can you find a way to 'rally the troops' and help us to help our cancer patients by joining our Campaign Chemo Care Kits Project today?  Your neighbors will be most appreciative.  

Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital Knitter/Crocheter Project.

Because these items are being given to patients receiving medical treatment there are a few criteria that need to be met:        Items must be knit/crocheted in a non-smoking environment;

                      Items need to be made from machine washable and dryable yarn.

                      Rectangular shawls should measure approximately 24” by 60”.

                      Triangular shawls should measure approximately 60” across the top.

                      Shawl must not be fringed.

                      Softer yarns are best for infant items.

Thank you for your help.  This is a great way to show patients “We Care”

Are you seeking an opportunity to transform your past experiences into a positive influence on the lives of young people? Did you have run-ins with law enforcement and the criminal justice system as a youth? Did you unintentionally or intentionally cause emotional, physical, financial, or mental harm to family or friends as a youth?  If so, we have a powerful opportunity for you to share your history, your experience, and the lessons you've learned with a group of teens who are in need of guidance.

Youth Empowerment and Accountability is a Waukesha County Program that provides comprehensive support to youth who have been referred by the criminal justice system. Our dedicated social workers work with these youth for over 6-7 weeks, teaching them accountability, victim empathy/ awareness, and empowerment to make better life choices.

One way we do this is by having volunteers who experienced a similar start to their lives as youth share their own stories. Volunteer Speakers play a crucial role in shaping the future of these youth by sharing their stories, including any time they spent with the criminal justice system, the consequences of their actions felt by themselves and others, the impact the decisions they made as a youth had on their lives, and the lessons they learned.

Volunteers are expected to commit to speaking 2-4 times per year. The group is led by Social Workers on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm. The speaking months for 2025 are January, April, July, and October, with some flexibility on the date the volunteer speaks within that month. Volunteers address a group of 3-10 youth for approximately 30 minutes.

Volunteer speakers should be prepared to answer questions about their experience, have a passion for working with and supporting positive change in youth, demonstrate maturity and dependability, and be comfortable effectively working with diverse populations.

Don't miss this chance to make a difference. Contact us today to learn how you can start sharing your story with the next generation.

MacDowell’s diverse membership spans a variety of musical experiences, with most members residing in the Fox Cities of Wisconsin, from Green Bay to Waupaca to Oshkosh to Whitelaw, and all communities in between. Although we hail from all walks of life, our common interests of camaraderie, community, and love of singing have made us a unified group for 92 years.

Ideally, new members join in the fall to prepare for the Spring Concert Season. However, we would like to encourage interested candidates to visit any rehearsal to learn the chorus details. If joining later in the year, they may be non-performing members to become full-performing members the following season.

Please call (920) 460-9884 for more information about joining.

Teens, do you have a heart for helping others?  If so, join our Compassion Crew at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospitals & Clinics as we make every encounter with patients and visitors story worthy.  There are several areas within the hospital that we could use your compassionate help including - the front desk, the Emergency Department, the Cancer Center, and our surgical areas.  Our patients and visitors may need help finding their way, a moment of hospitality to ease possible stress/worry and a smile to help them feel welcome and important.   Reach out today to get involved in this important work.  All positions require Aspirus background and health screening.  Request your packet today and get your process started.    

Do you care about access to healthful fresh hot meals for our community?   If you have at least two hours a week, you can give to this cause. You may be just the hero we’re looking for! 

We’re searching for Meal Delivery Heroes to deliver fresh hot meals to community members who would not otherwise have access. On the job, you’ll pick up pre-packed meals prepared by the Food and Nutrition Services staff of the hospital, organized for you to deliver them to 5-15 locations on nearby pre-established routes.  We need volunteers who can commit to at least one scheduled shift per week taking place on Monday through Friday.

Your time commitment would be two hours or less, including pick-up and delivery.  Our mission is to provide fresh hot meals to community members that would otherwise be without, and the Meal Delivery Hero program is a big part of that vision, as it helps us include those who are unable to travel to our location.  Join our fleet of Meal Delivery Heroes today! Once you’ve completed your application form, you’re required to complete a background and health check, attend orientation, and then go on a route with an experienced Hero to train in our team process.

Veteran Volunteers Honor Our Patients

Something powerful happens when a Veteran Volunteer visits a Veteran patient. The shared experience, language and culture make Veteran patients feel comfortable letting down their guard. Many Veterans have held back memories from their families because they are worried that their civilian loved ones won't understand, but at the end of life, they feel the need to share with someone. A visit from a military brother or sister gives the patient respect, honor and peace.

Your Military Brothers and Sisters Need You!

Veterans share a bond that bridges generation, branches of service and experiences.

As Part of the We Honor Veterans Program, the Vet-to-Vet Volunteer Program provides camaraderie and companionship to Veteran patients. Veterans connect to each other in a unique way and benefit from that special fellowship.

Veteran Volunteers help support our efforts to honor our Veteran patients through individual honors ceremonies, community events, welcome home events, special projects, life review and more.

There is NO limit to the impact you can make as a Veteran Volunteer at Bristol Hospice. Volunteers typically serve about 1-2 hours a week, but the schedule and time commitment are up to you.

What Does It Take to Be a Volunteer?

Hospice volunteers get specialized training to prepare them for working with people that are at end of life. For Veteran Volunteers, this involves veteran-specific education. Because hospice volunteers are part of the hospice team, they complete background checks, drug tests and reference checks before being accepted into the volunteer program.

Our patients' safety is our highest priority at Bristol Hospice!

Journey Together Service Dog is seeking volunteers to help provide public access experiences for our puppies.  Since our dogs receive the majority of training at the Oshkosh Correctional Institution, there are a number of experiences they can not receive in a prison setting.  Our community volunteers take dogs on outings to help the dog gain the life experiences that are essential for a highly trained service dog.

Volunteers go through orientation and then go on outings with our trainers who will help you learn how to handle the dogs and proper etiquette for taking dogs to stores, restaurants or other public locations.

We have many families who volunteer together.  This allows the children  to work with the dog while an adult is present.  

Do you love sports? Want to help kids learn to love it too? We have many volunteer opportunities for our fall sports leagues. Coaches are needed to teach the fundamentals of various sports (flag football, volleyball, soccer and basketball), good sportsmanship and to lead their teams in practice and in games.
