Volunteers Needed: Monster March

The Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership is seeking volunteers for Monster March on Saturday, October 31, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This family-friendly event provides a safe, daytime trick-or-treating experience for young children and families, with more than 20 local businesses participating.

Volunteers are needed to monitor intersections outside the designated street closures, helping children and families safely travel between participating downtown businesses. Volunteers should arrive by 9:45 a.m. for check-in and instructions. The goal is to have two volunteers stationed at each intersection, and volunteers are welcome to assist regardless of the number available.

Interested in volunteering? Contact Stephanie Margelowsky at 920-322-2006, ext. 2, or events@downtownfdl.com for more information.

Your support helps make Monster March a safe and enjoyable community tradition for local families.

🍂Rake a Difference: A Little Yardwork, a Big Impact

United Way of Fond du Lac County’s Rake a Difference brings volunteers together to help older adults and neighbors with disabilities who need assistance with fall yard cleanup. For someone who cannot safely rake their yard, this support eases a seasonal burden and reminds them that their community cares.

We’re looking for individuals, families, coworkers, and community groups to lend a hand! It’s a meaningful way to connect with neighbors and turn a few hours of your time into a lasting act of kindness.

Help us rake a difference! Contact Stephanie at slewis@fdlunitedway.org to volunteer or learn more. 🍁
