Pine Haven is looking for a volunteer to come transport residents from their rooms to our beauty shop at our Giddings Ave and Haven Dr campuses. Coverage is needs on varying Wednesday and Friday mornings. 

Residents will already be in their wheelchairs so you will not be doing any transferring, just simply pushing them to the salon....a great way to get some exercise in! This is also a really fun way to meet some amazing new people. While residents are getting their hair done you will be able to visit with them, hear their stories and definitely laugh with them! 

We hope to hear from you soon! Please reach out to Nicole with any questions @ 920-550-5289 or nicole.vansluys@pinehaven.org

HSSC needs foster homes for all kittens under 8 weeks of age! Kittens are coming in faster than we can keep up with, and we need safe places for them to get accustomed to the world with safe people who can provide for their basic needs. Types of kittens typically needing foster homes are: neonatal bottle babies (need to be bottle fed every few hours), babies with mom, and older babies without mom.

All foster parents are trained by HSSC staff, and all materials needed for fostering will be provided.

Some needs are short term (week or two) where as others would be longer. Typically no more than 8 weeks time is needed from a foster parent. While an adult over 18 must be the person primarily responsible for the kittens, we encourage involvement from the whole family. In addition to helping our feline friends, this is a great way for younger children to get involved and to provide education about caring for an animal.

Occasionally fosters are needed for adult cats as well. Adult cats who are in need of foster are typically cats with fewer social skills or cats who have medical needs. The needs will vary depending on the cat.

If interested, please complete our volunteer application at https://adoptsheboygancounty.org/volunteer/

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to DarlynS@scadopt.org

We need help keeping our kennels clean! Kennel cleaning is done from 8:30am to about 12:00 pm, so perfect for those who like to get up and get moving right away in the morning!

Kennel cleaning volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  Cleaners are expected to empty all things out of the kennels, spray them down with cleaner, scrub them, rinse them, and squeegee.

Volunteers will then set the kennels back up for the dogs.

This position does not have a lot of hands on with animals, as staff will be the ones to transport the dogs in and out of the kennels. 

If interested, please complete our volunteer application at https://adoptsheboygancounty.org/volunteer/

We are privileged to serve kids aged 5-18 and their families (foster, adoptive, or biological) who are experiencing or have a history of crises/trauma. Hurting people need hope and the security of healthy relationships that provide safety and trust.  Healing from the inside out can begin within the context of a caring and safe relationship. Pairing kids with a trained mentor and a horse with its own story can help spur the healing process. 

We are seeking dedicated mentors to join our volunteer mentor team.  Since the Covid-19 pandemic our client base has risen to the point that we are creating a waiting list for youth in need.  Mentors are needed to get these kids into our programming.  We are a faith-based organization and provide services to women and youth located in Calumet, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Southern Brown, Winnebago, and Monroe counties.

Allay's Hospice Companions bring comfort to patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear, and a helping hand.  When visiting, volunteers may offer to play music or a game, read to the patient, listen to his/her stories and memories, sit with a patient outside or go for a walk, or offer assistance with other non-medical tasks. There are times when volunteers may simply sit quietly while holding one's hand, letting the patient know that he or she is not alone. 

Allay's Compassionate Companions profoundly affect the quality of our patients' lives by simply sharing their time. The amount of time you give is flexible and scheduled around your availability. We do take your location into account to assign patient visits that are within or near your own community. 

Hospice companions receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills for meaningful visits with hospice patients and their families. 

Volunteer and patient safety are our top priority. We follow CDC guidelines & respect the Covid-19 protocols of our partner facilities. At this time, volunteers are asked to complete a self-screening checklist prior to visits, wear a mask during visits and, of course, adhere to standard precautions such as frequent handwashing. Allay will provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe practices can be followed.

One of the most frequent requests made by Allay's hospice patients are for visits from a friendly, certified therapy dog or therapy cat. Therapy animals have the endearing quality of showing unconditional love & affection that brings joy to everyone. They are a remarkable source of comfort & companionship, as well as a welcome distraction from the daily routine for both hospice patients and their families. Contact with furry companions can be especially meaningful to patients who are no longer able to care for their own beloved pet. 

Would you be able to help us fulfill some of those requests within your own community?

While many pets provide love and companionship in the home, not all of them have the temperament suited for this type of service. We require all therapy animal teams must have completed training and assessment with a recognized Animal-Assisted Therapy program before visiting hospice patients. (And, the human-half will receive additional training related to hospice visitation.)
