The Gallon Grad program is available to students enrolled at one of our partner high schools.

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.

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.

Interested in learning more? Contact our helpful Contact Management Team at (800) 280-4102.

This is a special announcement for all men aged 15 years to !

2026 marks the 250th anniversary, or "Semiquincentennial", of our country's founding via the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We are going to celebrate by hosting hundreds of men who are members of the choruses that make up the Association of Male Choruses of America to perform a "BIG SING" with us in Appleton at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. We are expecting as many as fourteen choruses to participate. You will want to be part of this monumental event! If you would like to join us to sing at this event, contact us at 920-460-9884, ot at rmarion@macdowellchorus.com 

Our annual concert season typically takes place in April and May. We will still perform at events during the summer: Memorial Day ceremony at the end of the Appleton Parade; Symphony Under the Stars at the ballpark; Bike to the Beat in Kimberly; and more. All males who enjoy singing are welcome to visit with us at any of these events to discuss membership. Otherwise, our annual Season Opener / New Member recruitment picnic is August 31st, 2026, to begin the 2026-7 season.

For MacDowell new members, our Director holds Voice Placement sessions from 6:45 to 7:00 pm before the regular Monday rehearsals. Tryouts are no-stress; you don’t need to prepare beforehand. This meeting allows the conductor to determine your vocal range. The two of you will decide your voice: 1st tenor, 2nd tenor, baritone, or bass. 

We rehearse every Monday evening after Labor Day, starting at 7:00 P.M. in the Appleton St. Francis Xavier High School chorus room. The year concludes with the annual business meeting in mid-May, and we enjoy a short summer break.

MacDowell’s diverse membership spans a variety of musical experiences, with most members residing in the Fox Cities of Wisconsin, from Green Bay to Waupaca to Oshkosh to Whitelaw, and all communities in between. Although we hail from all walks of life, our common interests of camaraderie, community, and love of singing have made us a unified group for 92 years.

Ideally, new members join in the fall to prepare for the Spring Concert Season. However, we would like to encourage interested candidates to visit any rehearsal to learn the chorus details. If joining later in the year, they may be non-performing members to become full-performing members the following season.

Please call (920) 460-9884 for more information about joining.

Make a Difference—Drive Someone’s Independence Forward

Imagine needing to get to a medical appointment, the grocery store, or simply visit a friend—but not having a way to get there. For many seniors and individuals with disabilities, this is a daily reality. You can change that.

We’re looking for compassionate volunteer accessible van drivers to help provide safe, reliable transportation in our community.

As a volunteer driver, you will:

·         Transport individuals who use wheelchairs or have mobility challenges

What you give:

·         A few hours of your time (flexible scheduling)

We are looking for more fosters to help our animals that are struggling in the shelter atmosphere.

Make a meaningful difference by helping individuals gain confidence and independence using public transportation.

We’re looking for volunteers to serve as companions for riders learning to navigate the Oshkosh Go Transit system. Volunteers should have a good understanding of local bus routes and be willing to ride along for a few trips to provide guidance and support.

Originating in the Netherlands, the Cycling Without Age movement has grown in popularity across the U.S.—and now Make the Ride Happen is bringing it to our community!

We’re preparing to offer rides for adults age 60+ on scenic trails, to appointments, and to community events using a motorized trishaw. This isn’t about intense exercise—it’s about connection, fresh air, and creating joyful experiences.

We’re currently looking for “pilots” to operate the trishaw. Whether you’re a cycling enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys spending time outdoors with older adults, this is a meaningful and rewarding opportunity.

To learn more, visit the Cycling Without Age website or check out the inspiring TED Talk by Ole Kassow and get excited about what’s possible!

A ride may seem small — but for a senior or a person with a disability, it can mean everything.
Volunteers are needed to drive adults age 60+ or persons with a disability who do not use a wheelchair to medical appointments, the grocery store, the beauty shop, or simply to visit friends in Oshkosh and the Fox Cities communities. For many older adults, these trips are their lifeline to independence, dignity, and connection.
This is personal, neighbor-to-neighbor service. Volunteers use their own car and gas, offering more than just a ride — they offer companionship, reassurance, and kindness.
Scheduling is flexible. Serve just a half day a month or sign in to our software and pick rides as your schedule allows.
A few hours of your time can ease loneliness, reduce stress, and remind someone they are not alone.
Be the reason someone gets where they need to go.
Volunteer today.

The Outagamie County Mentoring Program works 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! 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.

With 30 kids currently on waiting list,  we have a great need for more volunteer mentors.  Mentor matches spend a minimum of 4 hours a month together developing 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 www.outagamie.org/mentoring .

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

ThedaCare At Home is currently seeking volunteers for the pet therapy program in the Fox Valley, Shawano, and Waupaca areas.

Interested volunteers should have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate with many different people. Dogs must be a minimum of one year of age and be calm, gentle, polite, and comfortable interacting with unfamiliar people in unfamiliar settings.

Volunteers are needed to assist in caring for terminally ill patients and their families in their homes. Hospice volunteers provide companionship including visiting, listening, or simply being a loving presence.

Volunteer provides respite, companionship and socialization for patients while giving caregivers a break for errands or self-care.

Volunteers are needed to assist with bereavement follow-up to family members of patients who have passed away on ThedaCare At Home’s Hospice services. Bereavement volunteers help with administrative projects or lend support and a listening ear to bereaved family members via telephone.

The committee meets the third Wednesday of the month from 5 to 6 p.m. at the CASA office, 211 E. Franklin St., Suite E, Appleton.

No previous fundraising or event planning experience is necessary, but can be helpful.

CASA of the Fox Cities seeks interested members for its Board of Directors. Although previous Board membership experience is not required, we do prefer someone who has had some volunteer involvement with a nonprofit agency (committee work, for example).

Our current board member needs are for an individual who has previous experience in marketing/public relations/advertising, as well as an individual with a background in fundraising or sales.

We also encourage the involvement of men and all individuals from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds to assist us.

A passion for CASA's mission of assisting abused/neglected children within local courts is essential.

Board meetings are held at the CASA office from 5 to 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month, except for November and December, when it it held on the third Tuesday to avoid holidays. Board members are also required to serve on one of several committees, which carry out the work of the agency. Each committee is chaired by a Board member and we are in specific need of someone to chair our Marketing/PR Committee, as well as a chair for our Fundraising Committee. Total average time investment per month would be 5 to 10, depending on time of year/projects.

Board member terms are 3 years, with the opportunity to recommit to a second term upon completion of the first 3-year term.

We are already looking ahead to summer 2026 for volunteer crossing guards to assist our members with crossing the street on their way to and from the Club.

Walking School Bus assistants and substitute volunteers needed!       

What is a Walking School Bus?

A Walking School Bus (WSB) is a safe, fun, and healthy way for children to walk to school together with the guidance of caring adult volunteers. Students get fresh air and exercise, while families enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are supervised along the way.

How It Works:

A group of children meet at a set location and walk to school together on a planned route.

Adult volunteers (parents, staff, or community members) walk with the group, helping keep everyone safe and together.

The walk usually takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the route.

The WSB runs rain or shine (except in unsafe weather conditions).

Volunteer Details:

Volunteers can commit to one or more days per week, or serve as a substitute when a leader is unavailable.

No experience is needed—just a willingness to walk and supervise students.

A brief training will be provided.

Time commitment is minimal, but the positive impact is huge!

Why Volunteer?
This is a low-commitment, high-impact way to support students and school safety. Plus, it’s a fun way to connect with kids and the school community!
