Peter Matchefts
has been volunteering with St. Vincent de Paul for nearly 55 years. Pete has displayed an unprecedented commitment through weekly service as a cashier. This allows staffing costs to stay low, making it possible to provide quality used items at a discounted price for those in need within the Green Bay community. Pete has clocked well over 1400 hours of volunteer service in the time that St. Vincent de Paul has been tracking hours. He doesn't just complete financial transactions; he provides a warm smile and friendly conversation making all feel welcome and special.
Thank you, Pete, for your commitment and service to the community!

Volunteer Guardian Program of Brown County Human Services Department is looking for volunteers!
Volunteer Guardians are needed for individuals who have been found by a doctor and the court to be mentally incompetent and incapable of making their own decisions about their health care, residence, or other legal decisions. The clients, legally called "wards" may be mentally incompetent due to aging dementia, mental illness, or a developmental disability. Guardians see their ward at least once per month or more if circumstances dictate further action. Matches are made based on compatibility. Training is provided. Reimbursement for mileage and a stipend of $15.00 per ward is available. For more information, contact Glen Tilot at 920-448-6023 or
tilot_gg@co.brown.wi.us.
