🍂 RAKERS NEEDED! Registration for Rake Up Green Bay 2026 is officially OPEN!

Last year, more than 60 local homeowners asked for help getting their yards ready for winter — but only 25 volunteer groups signed up to rake.

This year, we need YOU!

Gather your coworkers, friends, family, church group, sports team, classmates or organization and spend a few hours making a BIG difference for a neighbor who needs a helping hand.

🍁 Raking begins Saturday, November 7 and continues through the City of Green Bay’s final leaf pickup.

You choose a day that works for your group, and the Volunteer Center will match you with a homeowner who needs your help.

No group is too small — and every rake makes a difference.

Volunteer registration is open through Friday, October 30.

👉 SIGN UP TO RAKE: https://form.jotform.com/262365158971163

Help us make sure no neighbor is left with a yard they simply can't manage on their own.

Grab your rakes. Gather your people. Give back to your community.

🔴 This week’s Affiliate Partner of the Week is the Green Bay Area Public School District! 🔴

It takes a village to raise a child, and volunteers play an important role in supporting students and staff throughout the District’s 34 schools. With so many schools and programs, there are a variety of ways community members can get involved throughout the year!

GBAPS works with several community partners to connect volunteers with students, including:

📚 **Reading Coaches for Kids** – Volunteers spend one hour each week reading one-on-one with students in kindergarten through fifth grade. No educational background is needed, and training and ongoing support are provided.

🤝 **Big Brothers Big Sisters** – Site-based mentors are matched with elementary students and spend time together during the school day, including during lunch.

💡 **Junior Achievement** – Volunteers bring real-world experiences into the classroom and help students connect what they are learning today with their future goals.

Additional volunteer needs arise throughout the school year, too! GBAPS uses its Volunteer Tracker system to share opportunities and connect community members with schools that need their support.

Interested in getting involved?

Thank you, Green Bay Area Public School District, for being an Affiliate Partner of the Volunteer Center of Brown County and for providing so many ways for our community to support local students!

❤ Vicki Medland is our volunteer of the week! ❤

After achieving her doctorate in ecology, Vicki began her professional career as associate director of UW-Green Bay's Cofrin Center for Biodiversity. For more than 12 years, she has generously volunteered her time and expertise for New Leaf Foods, helping to establish their Garden Blitz program and their collaborative project, the Brown County Seed Library. Having researched the best seeds to purchase for UW-Green Bay's heirloom plant sale for over two decades, the staff at New Leaf appreciate how much of an asset she is to the seed library team.

The Garden Blitz program installs raised bed gardens at shelters, pantries, schools, parks, libraries, and subsidized and family housing. Because space in raised beds is at a premium, Vicki has shared lessons she’s learned through many years of trial and error to get the most out of these tiny plots. She has taught about soil mixes, selecting seed and plant varieties, germination, and genetics. This helps home gardeners optimize space, maximize productivity, and minimize disease and pests.

Vicki teaches that good food does not originate on the grocery shelf. Rather, it begins in seeds and soil, on farms, and in people’s and cultures’ knowledge of how food is grown, prepared, and shared. She believes that education rooted in good food and a clean environment is foundational to building a healthier, more resilient future for all. Thank you, Vicki, for your inspiring lifelong dedication to sharing knowledge that connects us to our food and farms, our natural environment, and each other!

📢 Volunteer Opportunity 📢

Sometimes, the Greatest Gift Is Simply Being There.

Unity is looking for companion volunteers who are willing to share their time, and presence with patients living with serious illness.

For someone facing a serious illness, a familiar face and a caring conversation can mean so much. Your weekly visit can become something a patient looks forward to—a chance to talk, laugh, share stories, or simply enjoy having someone there.

As a Companion Volunteer, you may:

Spend meaningful time visiting and socializing with a patient

Listen, talk, share stories, play a game, or simply sit together

Provide companionship and connection for patients who may feel isolated

Give caregivers a much-needed break and an opportunity for respite

Visits may take place in a patient's home, nursing home, assisted living facility, or at Meng Hospice Residence.

Unity is a not-for-profit partnership of Bellin Health, St. Mary's HSHS, and St. Vincent HSHS, caring for patients with serious illnesses while supporting their caregivers and families.

Your Presence Can Make a Difference.

You don't need to have all the answers. You don't need to know exactly what to say.

You just need to be willing to show up, week after week, and be there.

A weekly visit can bring comfort, and a sense of connection during a difficult time. For a patient and their family, knowing that someone is coming to see them can mean more than you may ever realize.

If you have time in your week and a heart for people, we would love to hear from you.

Join the Unity Volunteer team and discover how simply being there can make a lasting difference.
Minimum age: 18
