While more people are practicing social distancing, there are some opportunities for people in Wisconsin to volunteer, sometimes remotely.
The need for volunteers is rising, according to Serve Wisconsin, as closures due to coronavirus result in the closure of schools, businesses, and other community resources.
To connect potential volunteers and organizations addressing these pressing concerns, the United Way of Wisconsin, Serve Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Volunteer Coordinators Association created the COVID-19 Response Initiative on the Volunteer Wisconsin website.
"The Volunteer Wisconsin website will provide a centralized location for organizations throughout the state to post information on projects addressing these needs and for people interested in helping others search for COVID-19 response projects in their local communities,” said Jeanne Duffy, Executive Director of Serve Wisconsin.
The COVID-19 Response Initiative can be found on the Volunteer Wisconsin website at www.volunteerwisconsin.org.
