You Can Help

Published 9:00 am Saturday, June 4, 2011

The following are some of the volunteer opportunities currently open in Freeborn County. If you can help with any of them or would like to volunteer for others, call Pat Stumme, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program director, at Senior Resources, 377-7433.

Chore Services: Volunteers are needed to help seniors do outside work like tilling gardens, raking lawns or washing the outsides of windows. These are one-time events and would be good for a family or small group to volunteer together.

Freeborn County Historical Museum: Bakers are asked to share a couple dozen goodies for this summer’s Genealogical events and museum tour groups. Please call the museum office at 373-8003 to let them know you can be counted on as a baker.
