Volunteer with The Neighbors of Dunn County
Volunteers are the consistent community connection for our nursing homes. This connection is extremely vital because residents need to know that the community in which they have spent their productive years still remembers them. Community persons also feel a need to know their community members who live in the nursing home. Volunteers provide a crucial link between the residents, the facility and the community which helps to fulfill those needs.
If you’d like to volunteer, please fill out the online Volunteer Application form. Volunteers under age 18 will also need to fill out the Youth Authorization form. Click here to download and print the youth form to your computer.
Please send the youth form to Alyssa Doughty, by mail: 2901 Forbes Avenue
Menomonie, WI, 54751. Or through e-mail: adoughty@co.dunn.wi.us.
For more information, please contact Alyssa Doughty, Volunteer Coordinator, at (715) 231-4589.
