Volunteer: Platelet Donors Needed

Platelet donation offers an extra-special gift at a time when a patient needs it most.

Platelets are the component of blood that controls our bleeding, which means that when stopping the loss of blood is critical – in transplant recipients, in cancer patients, during traumatic injuries – platelets answer the call. They collect at the site of an injury to help in the formation of clots, which then allows the wound to heal.

Adding to their importance is the fact that they have a short shelf life, which means that they must be replenished continually. Thankfully, since our own body restores this blood component so rapidly, platelet donors can make a donation every seven days.

Platelet FAQs:

How long does it take to donate platelets?

A platelet donation, from registration to cookies, takes about 2 hours.

How often can I donate platelets?

Donors are eligible to donate platelets every 7 days. The average platelet donor donates 5x per year.

How does this donation differ from a blood donation?

The specific machine used for this type of donation collects platelets, a component of blood. Red blood cells and plasma, in addition to saline fluid, are returned to the donor during this process.

Who receives platelets?

Hematology, oncology, cardiac surgeries, and trauma victims are some of the patients who may receive platelets.

Is donating platelets safe?

Yes. All materials are sterile and used only once. CBC follows FDA standards and protocols. Safety is a top priority in all we do.

Are there incentives to donate Platelets?

Yes! We offer a special platelet program for donors to receive rewards for their donations.

Volunteer: High School Student - Become a Gallon Grad!

Overview

High school blood donors are extremely important in supporting the needs of local hospitals and patients. In fact, high school blood donors account for as much as 10% of The Community Blood Center’s overall blood donations.

So what is the Gallon Grad program? This unique program is about more than just blood donation. It’s about helping others understand why blood donation is so important and to encourage others to make it a lifesaving habit as well. More blood donors means that we can help more patients. High school students join Gallon Grad as a way to give back to their community through donating, volunteering or encouraging others to donate.

In short, it’s both the first step in creating a life-long passion for blood donation and an opportunity to reward high school students who play a critical role in supporting their local community.

What do you receive if you complete the Gallon Grad requirements?

In addition to the satisfaction of saving lives, those who complete the program will receive:

A distinctive cord or pin to wear at their high school graduation A certificate recognizing their achievement as a Gallon Grad Recognition at their high school awards ceremony

Reach out today to get started!

Volunteer: Put the MEN in Mentor

With almost 20 boys waiting to be matched with adult mentors, we have an immediate need for male volunteers willing to be positive role models for kids! At the Outagamie County Mentoring Program, we work with the youth in the community who need us the most. We match kids with adults who help them out just by being a friend and spending a few hours a month together. A successful match is life changing for both the mentor and mentee! All of the youth in our program are between 6-17 years old and have been referred by a social worker from Outagamie County Health and Human Services.

Mentor matches spend about 4-8 hours a month together to develop a positive and trusting relationship the youth can rely on. Mentors expose youth to new and positive experiences that enhance self esteem and improve social skills. We find that many mentors enjoy getting to be a kid again with their mentee!

If you mentor with Outagamie County, you will receive all the training and support you need to make your match successful. We sponsor several events each year for our matches and also reimburse for mileage. 

Find and follow us on Facebook! Check out our website at www.outagamie.org/mentoring.

Email us at: hhsmentors@outagamie.org or call 920-832-5961. We'd love to hear from you!

Volunteer: Grow Native Plants

Learn how easy it is to grow native plants and how important they are in our landscaping. In the late fall/winter, we host workshops where volunteers create mini greenhouses by using milk jugs to grow the plants. Participants will be able to keep what they want from the plants they grow and the other plants will be used in our restoration projects or as a fundraiser for the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance.   There are a few different options to volunteer with this program. Volunteers are able to come out and help collect native seeds as well as learn to clean those seeds (Summer/Fall). We need volunteers to help assemble the milk jugs – this involves cutting milk jugs, filling them with soil, adding seeds, then closing them up (Fall/Early Winter). These milk jugs need a place to live outdoors so volunteers can just house the milk jugs (Fall – Spring). No special requirements to house the milk jugs except space.   This program is locally coordinated by Fox-Wolf in Calumet, Fond du Lac, Waushara, and Winnebago Counties. Interested? Contact Katie Reed, Winnebago Waterways Program Coordinator, Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance, katherine@fwwa.org, 920-851-6472   Learn more about the process here: https://ripple-effects.com/documents/pdf/How-to-grow-native-plants.pdf

Volunteer: Apparel Processing

Be a part of our largest and most in-need-of-help department. Apparel is always plentiful and you can help at various stages of processing. Each piece is checked four times for quality. the First in donations, second by the apparel supervisor, third by the price processors, and the last time by the rack runners. This process allows us to keep our overflowing sales floor stocked with the best clothes for the community. Thankfully NO clothes are sent to the landfill that comes through Svdp.  

Price Processing- If you enjoy working around others and the idea of tagging clothes then price processing, offers a friendly setting. When you work in price processing you sit at an apparel station where you take carts that are separated by price and tag and hang the clothes on a hanger by size. These stations are in the center of the warehouse and a social hub. Some math is required at times but we will train you. 

Rack runners- Do you like to keep moving? Organizing and color coding? Rack runners take racks of pre-priced clothes and merchandise them on the sales floor. Rack runners also help to maintain the dressing rooms and return racks. This is a great option for anyone who loves clothes and enjoys social interactions. Rack runners spend the most time on the sales floor and therefore they get to know the customers.

Enjoy taking care of animals and looking for a flexible schedule? Sign up to be a cat care volunteer at Saving Paws, a volunteer-run, no-kill animal rescue in Appleton.

As a cat care volunteer, you provide care to the kittens and cats temporarily calling Saving Paws home.  Duties include socializing the cats, feeding, watering and cleaning the rooms where the cats live.
