We can't do it without you

Our Volunteers

Give because you can care love our community want to help our kids believe in our trail love what we stand for want a better life love to bike love the outdoors want to give back

There’s no better feeling than donating a little bit. If we each give that little bit, we gain so very much.

We really need your support in order to keep this project thriving. There are many needs for all types of volunteers. Below are just some of the ways you can help.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

Why give?

Because for every donation, especially small amounts monthly, it demonstrates to the grant applications that we have the support of our community. It shows a commitment and a belief that we can change the lives of the children that come behind us and we care.
We always need volunteers and board members. There are many needs and never enough hands. Contact us if you are interested and there is no pressure to join.

Administrative

Address and mail out brochures and donation requests

Door to Door

Would be our ideal initiative to spread the word and ask for a small donation. If interested, contact us!

Phone Call Drives

Volunteers are always needed! We ask for donations via emails and phone calls, especially when we are having an event. This is never an easy task! If you are gifted in this area, we would love to chat. Again, no pressure! Please email Denise:  denisefisher5995@gmail.com.

Events

Volunteers are needed for every event and we can put you to work in an area of your choosing.

Let us know if you are available for any of the events listed and what you might be interested in doing.

Thank you for helping us!

Board Member

Serve on the board and help drive all of the efforts to get this trail completed. If you are interested, you do not need to be local, you just need to be actively participating. 

Other ways

There’s room for everyone willing to reach out and help.

Love Grows... with giving with kindness on a trail with a smile because you helped because you cared from your heart here

Volunteers! We need you ALL and there is always something for everyone to do. Creating a trail with MORE volunteers creates MORE fun for all of us!

We won’t ask you to do anything you don’t want to and we are happy to wait until the right volunteering position is open at the right time for you. So no worries and thanks for your extra commitment to our Wisconsin River Trail project!
