Buckthorn, particularly common and glossy buckthorn, is a highly invasive plant in Wisconsin, posing significant threats to native ecosystems. Introduced as a hedge plant, it has spread aggressively, outcompeting native vegetation and disrupting natural habitats. Buckthorn's dense growth, early spring leaves, and late-season leaf retention create dense shade, hindering the growth of other plants, especially tree seedlings. It also produces berries that are attractive to birds, but the seeds are spread by the birds, contributing to buckthorn's rapid spread. We need your help in removing Buckthorn from our parks. Please note volunteers must be at least 18 to participate.

The American Red Cross is facing a critical blood shortage. Blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, leading to only the second national blood crisis declaration in Red Cross history. Most concerning, there is now less than a one-day national supply of Type O positive blood available, a blood type used in many emergency situations and compatible with over 80% of the population.

Blood donations are needed every day to support patients recovering from traumatic injuries, undergoing surgery, receiving cancer treatment, and facing other serious medical conditions.

There are two simple ways you can help:

If you're feeling healthy and meet eligibility requirements, please consider making an appointment to donate blood or platelets. Every donation can make a lifesaving difference for patients in need.

To schedule an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

If appointments aren't immediately available in your area, please consider booking one in the coming days or weeks. Future appointments are just as important in helping rebuild and maintain a stable blood supply.

If you're unable to donate, you can still have a significant impact by encouraging others to give. Sharing information with friends, family, coworkers, and your social networks can help connect more donors with this urgent need.

We provide dinner to about 25 youth and young adults every Wednesday and Friday. Volunteers prepare the meal and are invited to sit down to enjoy it with our youth. Our clients appreciate having the opportunity to engage with outside community members over a meal. 

If you are interested, please respond below or contact our Volunteer and Community Engagement Manager, Jj Burch, at community@pathfindersmke.org.   

Pathfinder's Youth Shelter provides emergency housing and supportive services to homeless and runaway youth.

Pathfinders provides assistance to help find, secure, and sustain safe housing for our young people experiencing homelessness or are experiencing housing instability. We do our work with a housing first approach, believing that housing is an essential tool for success and not a reward for program compliance.

Although moving in to an apartment is an exciting step for our young people, without everyday cleaning supplies, the barrier of living in a healthy environment will still be a barrier. We are asking community members to donate the following cleaning supplies so that our youth can have safe, clean, and healthy homes. 

If interested in assisting, please respond to this post or contact Jj Burch at community@pathfindersmke.org.

The vigil volunteer program is designed to keep vigil with patients and families during the dying process. A hospice vigil volunteer is one of Heartland's most special and fulfilling opportunities. Support may involve prayer (reading from the Bible or other material that is comforting for patient), providing respite to family (allowing them to step away and grab a bite to eat/take a break) or simply being present...providing comfort and peace of mind to all that the patient is not alone. Vigil volunteers, in collaboration with the hospice team, can help provide the patient with the most valuable gift - a loving presence. 

Our vigil volunteer program is more of an "on-call" opportunity; vigil support is based upon request of patient's family or care-giving team. Scheduling of vigil takes into consideration the volunteer's location and availability.

Applicants must attend an orientation to learn about the philosophy of hospice, the role of a vigil volunteer, and skills related to caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Emphasis is on providing comfort during the dying process. Requirements for vigil volunteers: 18 years of age or older, complete a TB test, must agree to background and reference check, must be appropriately coping with any personal losses, impeccable communication skills, sound judgment regarding issues of death and dying, and ability to work independently with indirect supervision. Characteristics that Heartland is looking for in a vigil volunteer include: a positive outlook on life, flexibility, empathy, sensitivity to issues around death and dying, compassion, a willingness to help others and ability to work as a member of the hospice team. Reliable transportation is a must!

Vigil volunteers, in collaboration with the hospice team, can help provide the patient with the most valuable gift - a loving presence. 

Our vigil volunteer program is more of an "on-call" opportunity; vigil support is based upon request of patient's family or care-giving team. Scheduling of vigil takes into consideration the volunteer's location and availability.

Applicants must attend an orientation to learn about the philosophy of hospice, the role of a vigil volunteer, and skills related to caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Emphasis is on providing comfort during the dying process. Requirements for vigil volunteers: 18 years of age or older, complete a TB test, must agree to background and reference check, must be appropriately coping with any personal losses, impeccable communication skills, sound judgment regarding issues of death and dying, and ability to work independently with indirect supervision. Characteristics that Heartland is looking for in a vigil volunteer include: a positive outlook on life, flexibility, empathy, sensitivity to issues around death and dying, compassion, a willingness to help others and ability to work as a member of the hospice team. Reliable transportation is a must! 

If you live in Waukesha, or a surrounding community, and would like to provide support to hospice patients during their greatest hour of need, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Gypsi at 414-944-2000; cheryl.kernats@heartlandhospice.com. We're waiting to hear from you!

Put your construction skills to good use! You can help around our new Farmhouse on projects such as building/installing shelving units and assisting with renovation of our event and community kitchen space, or you can join us in constructing raised garden beds and signs for our annual garden blitz event, or even installing rain water catchment systems at the farm!

Victory Garden Initiative builds communities that grow their own food to create a community-based, socially just, environmentally sustainable, and nutritious food system for all! If you are a skilled carpenter, electrician, plumber, mason, or any number of other fields we could really use your help in literally building our Urban Farm Campus!

In 2018 we purchased a building across the street from our 1.5 acre farm and began renovations to turn it into our Farmhouse that would house our offices, an event and education space, a community kitchen, and root cellar. This space will be a community gathering space for the community for people to come together and learn how to grow good food, cook good food, and solve issues facing their neighborhood. We're proud to say that we are over halfway to that dream! We've moved into the office space and completed the education and event space. But we still have a long way to go...we're in the process of getting this old building completely up to code, installing the community kitchen, and getting the office space fully functional for our staff and volunteers. A skilled laborer would really be helpful in all the small tasks (hmm, we could really use shelving units for our historical files!) as well as the opportunity to get involved in the bigger visioning and construction of the kitchen! 

Check out some awesome before and after images below! Much of this was done with the help of skilled volunteers -- from a muralist who donated her talents, to a carpenter who helped make the floor structurally sound, to everyday volunteers who helped paint some base coats! What will YOU do?!
