Hospice Companions Needed. Our volunteers spend time socializing and providing companionship with individuals receiving ProMedica Hospice Services. Activities include reading to patients, playing cards, going on walks, providing caregiver relief, watching game shows and listening to patients’ stories. Visit schedule is set by the volunteer and is flexible. Call 715-344-4541 and ask for Mary to learn how to become a part of our team. You can also email [email protected].
Help Clean Up Our Environment on Fridays: Become An e-CYCLING Volunteer. Good News Project needs volunteers who help recycle electronics on Fridays between the hours of 9 and 4. Scheduling is flexible; you can choose to volunteer every Friday or once or twice a month, full days, half days, or just a couple of hours. We recommend that new volunteers come in and do a trial shift to see if e-CYCLING is a good fit for you, as some of the positions require moderate lifting (50 pounds) on occasion. In addition, volunteers are needed for customer service, to unload cars, weigh electronics, and sort them into the appropriate containers. Call 715-843-5985, M-F 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., or email Rouleen at [email protected] for inquires.
