Help Local Families Access Fresh Produce. Each week of the growing season, two local farms based out of Athens provide fresh produce to be boxed and distributed to nonprofit agencies in Marathon County. Your team can help. On Tuesday mornings (10 a.m. to noon), groups of three to five pack the produce into boxes at The Neighbors’ Place (Community Partners Campus, 364 Grand Ave.) in Wausau. Sign up for a shift at at unitedwaymc.org/get-involved or contact Carly at [email protected] or  715-298-5719 for more information.

Make A Difference In An Individual’s Life. Judicare Legal Aid’s Mediation Program seeks dedicated volunteers interested in training to become community mediators, working in collaboration with the Marathon County Courts.

Our comprehensive training program takes place annually, and we offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your availability. If you would like to get involved, contact Randy Westgate at [email protected] or call 715-847-4501.
