Needs From: Get Connected - Volunteer Fox Cities

We’re so grateful for your generosity, passion and creativity! Because of you, Children’s Wisconsin is able to fulfill our mission of helping Wisconsin’s kids be the healthiest in the nation. Thank you for taking a moment to learn how you can make the most impactful gift to the kids we serve.

Our gift registries are the preferred in-kind donation method – it’s fast for you and ensures your donation makes the biggest impact possible! *Note: In-kind donations are any non-monetary gift of goods or services.

We consider every element of a hospital stay through the eyes of the kids and families we serve. When you purchase a new gift from our registries, you enhance a child’s health care experience by providing comfort and therapeutic distraction to normalize the hospital environment. Likewise, treatment milestones, birthdays and holidays are made even more special with child-friendly surprises. Our Child Life and Creative Arts Therapies team frequently updates our Amazon registry with our most-needed items. These purchases are shipped directly to Children’s Wisconsin, Neenah location.

NOAHH (Neighbors Offering A Helping Hand) is a partnership between community members and Outagamie County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to assist DHHS clients to meet their needs. NOAHH partners are generally organizations with a membership base, but individuals are welcome as well.

Here's how it works:

A county worker alerts the Volunteer Coordinator to a need. The coordinator then reaches out to NOAHH partners to help fulfill that need. Needs may include new or gently used furniture, kitchen items, bedding, clothes, etc. There is no time commitment - just share the need with friends and coworkers to help find the needed item. Being a NOAHH Partner is an easy way to fulfill your mission of serving others in the community. Become a partner - sign up on our website! NOAHH
