Volunteer Center continues to connect

The Volunteer Center of Washington County continues to make a difference.

They offer opportunities to give back and volunteer.

85 students from St. John's Lutheran in West Bend took part in volunteering recently as part of a service project focused on random acts of kindness.

Director of Development Jen Gerber told WTKM about their mission.

"We are a nonprofit organization which serves as a community resource that connects people who want to give to meaningful volunteer opportunities. The mission is to inspire, engage and empower people to volunteer and make a positive impact in the community."   

The Volunteer Center is based in West Bend, but serves all of Washington County.

Employers have taken part in their “Do Good Bus” program. The Volunteer Center drives their 15-passenger van and picks up a group of employees to take them to a nonprofit to volunteer.

They also offer kindness projects to businesses, schools, churches and other groups or families to put together and donate to multiple nonprofits. These projects include calming kits, birthday kits or animal kits.
