Volunteer: Giving Tree

What is a “Giving Tree”? A Giving Tree is a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments or gift tags to be taken by community members who are able and willing to make a difference during the holiday season. The tags contain parts of Christmas wish lists, typically coming from children of low-income families. In this case, the kids who will be impacted live in Lake Superior Village.

There are six Giving Trees around Marquette: at the Marquette Township Office, Kate’s Place Salon, Provisions, Contrast Coffee, and The Crib—with gift tags for community members to select from and help bring joy to low-income youth in need.

Volunteer: Can/ bottle returns - we have the cans and need them returned!

Local businesses donate their returnable cans to United Way with all proceeds staying right here in Marquette county to help our local neighbors in need throughout the county.  This need would involve going to the business to get the cans from their storage area and returning them.  Masks and gloves can be provided if requested. The quantity of cans all depends on how often they are returned and how much these employees drink!  On average, there would be about $10-15/week.

Contact the United Way office at 906-226-8171 to set up a time that works for you and you will be directed to the business that needs to be collected and what you need to do.
