According to a United Way of Wisconsin statewide ALICE report, statistics show 39% of Walworth County households cannot afford basic life necessities. Nonprofit organizations in Walworth County continually strive to meet the growing needs in their communities. Volunteers meet a vital need for these groups. Volunteer Connections works with these groups to match Volunteers to their needs.
We are so very proud to be connected with Volunteer Connection during these uncertain times. Our office has been receiving many phone calls from all over—from Volunteers asking “What can we do to help?”
+Every year our Volunteers and Walworth County communities join forces with the Marine Corps Toys for Tots to service children with new toys for Christmas. Volunteers also create hats, mittens and quilts.
Quality of Life offers veterans, seniors and disabled individuals assistance with home maintenance
at little or no cost to them.
Many nonprofits struggle financially. When Volunteers contribute their time to those organizations, they help them succeed. Volunteers are in all areas of our county distributing food to low or no income families, assisting in hospitals nursing homes and blood drives, sorting donated items, the list goes on and on.
Our volunteers have served over 386,703 hours since we began July, 2010!
