Aurora Hospice Volunteers

Aurora at Home Hospice is a not-for-profit organization providing end-of-life care and support services to patients and family members. Volunteering for hospice helps ease this burden by providing companionship, comfort, and other services to people receiving hospice care. Their volunteers also provide support for the families of people receiving care at the end of life. Roles include:

Companion volunteers spend time with patients who have a serious illness. These volunteers may provide respite for caregivers or socialization for patients.
Veterans in their volunteer program help other veterans through the end-of-life transition by providing a listening ear and comforting presence. Hospice volunteers in the Veterans for Veterans program also honor and celebrate veterans with pinning ceremonies in recognition of their service.

Pet therapy volunteers use certified pet therapy dogs to spread joy, reduce anxiety, and ease fears for patients and visitors alike. All therapy dogs must have their Animal-Assisted Therapy Certification to participate in these volunteer programs.

Bereavement callers place calls to patients' homes six months after their loss, providing families with a listening ear.

Community outreach volunteers assist with expos and distributing marketing materials.

Flexible shifts. Minimum age: 18.

We couldn’t be more proud of Eileen and Leadership Green Bay, Team 4! ❤️

Over the past year, this incredible group has worked tirelessly on a massive project supporting Ecumenical Partnership for Housing - EPH

Through the generosity of local donors, they raised an amazing $50,000 to bring Rainbow Play playsets to 10 EPH homes!

What an incredible way to make a lasting impact in our community. Congratulations, Team 4, on this tremendous accomplishment! 🎉❤️

🏡 Building stronger neighborhoods starts with strong connections!

We had the opportunity to sit down with NeighborWorks Green Bay to learn more about their mission to solve housing challenges and build stronger communities throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

In this conversation, we talk about:

✨ The mission and impact of NeighborWorks Green Bay

🏆 The Weaver Awards and why bringing them to Northeast Wisconsin is so exciting

🤝 Ways to get involved—from ongoing volunteer opportunities and behind-the-scenes committee work to special events like their Annual Celebration, NeighborWorks Week, and Good Neighbor Week!

And speaking of Good Neighbor Week—Allouez Week is coming up next week! It’s a great opportunity to roll up your sleeves, meet your neighbors, and make a difference right here in our community.

Pregnancy and Adoption Meal Train for Birth Parents – flexible opportunity!

When a woman chooses adoption, she does so out of deep love for her child. Many of the women we serve are already parenting, working full-time, and facing life without a strong support system. While Catholic Charities walks alongside them throughout their adoption journey, the weeks following delivery can be especially difficult. We are seeking volunteers to form a Meal Train Team for birth parents who have recently placed a child for adoption. Ideally, a team will consist of 3–4 volunteers who work together to provide two meals per week during the first month after delivery. By sharing the commitment among a small group, volunteers can provide consistent support while making the opportunity manageable for everyone involved.

Minimum age: 18

❤ Don Guetschow is our volunteer of the week and the runner-up in the Heart of Gold Lifetime Achievement Category at the 2026 Volunteer Awards, presented by Wisconsin Public Service Foundation! ❤

For more than 15 years, Don has quietly and consistently shown up for his community. What began in 2009 as a few volunteer hours with The Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay shopping at Coats for Kids has grown into more than 1,400 hours of service. Today, he gives around 150 hours each year, and many of those come during the busiest and often coldest months of the year. From October to December, Don provides critical logistic support behind the scenes as an important member of the holiday operations team. He helps pick up and transport donations for programs like Coats for Kids, the Christmas Toy Distribution, and the Red Kettle Campaign. Whether he's driving, assisting another volunteer, or swapping out full kettles so fundraising can continue, Don makes sure the work keeps moving forward.

Because of his reliability, children in the community receive warm winter coats, families experience the joy of Christmas gifts, and vital fundraising efforts continue to support programs throughout the entire year. His volunteer commitment extends beyond the holiday season. He serves as a route monitor for the Donut 5K, sorts food donations from the Letter Carrier's Food Drive, and collects school supplies through Stuff the Bus for One Stop School Shop.

What stands out about Don isn't just the hours he gives. It's the way he gives them. He shows up with warmth, kindness, and a genuine smile. He checks in with staff and
