Volunteer: URGENT - Blood Donors

Donate Today, You'll Save Lives Tomorrow

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.

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.

Volunteer: Pantry Supplies Needed for Shelter

With the increase in the number of PDC participants in shelter (20-35) daily, the increased food insecurity of non-residential participants, and the soaring cost of food has created a level of need we have not encountered before. Our food budget has dramatically increased, putting a strain on the agency's budget.

Personal Development Center relies on the generosity and kindness of our community and the surrounding areas which has always been amazing. During the holidays we receive food donations, which are used to stock PDC’s pantry with dry goods and canned food.

This year, due to the increased need, our panty is currently the lowest level it has ever been. We have less than a 30-day supply of food for nutritious meals in shelter.

We are asking our supporters and the community for help. A list of the most used grocery items is attached. Even one can of soup or vegetables can make a difference. PDC is committed to the health and safety of our community’s most vulnerable.

Volunteer: Display Builder

Fox Cities Festival of Lights is a nonprofit who creates the large walk through holiday light display at Darboy Community Park.  Most of our displays are built by our volunteers.  We need help fixing some existing ones and help building new displays.  

Don't worry, you don't need any experience.  We can teach you.  We do a wide variety of work including carpentry, welding, general assembly and others.  Did you know that all the lights get taped to the displays individually?  Yes we do that too.  It is a lot of fun believe it or not!  We work during the entire offseason to get this accomplished.  If you are interested let us know.  Thank you!
