❤️ OUR FREE CLINIC NEEDS OUR COMMUNITY ❤️

We’re reaching out because we need help — and we need it now.

Our free clinic exists to make sure people in our community have somewhere to turn when they need healthcare, resources, guidance, or simply someone willing to listen. The need is growing, and in order for us to open our doors more often and serve more people, we need volunteers, board members, and financial support.

🙋 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

You do not need to be a medical professional to make a difference!

We need dependable, compassionate volunteers who can help us:

Schedule appointments
Answer phones
Hand out supplies
Help with basic office needs
Welcome people who walk through our doors
And sometimes simply lend an ear to someone who needs it

Every additional volunteer gives us the opportunity to be open more hours — which means more people in our community can receive the help they need.

🩸 IMMEDIATE MEDICAL VOLUNTEER NEEDED

We specifically need volunteers who are qualified and comfortable drawing blood for lab work on:

📅 Tuesday, August 18 | 3:00–5:00 PM
📅 Friday, August 21 | 9:00–11:00 AM
📅 Wednesday, August 26 | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Even if you can only help with one of these shifts, we would love to hear from you.

🩺 WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR BOARD MEMBERS

We are also looking to grow our Board of Directors with people who believe in what a free clinic can do for a community and have the ability to help keep making the free clinic better.

We especially need individuals who bring:

Healthcare knowledge or experience
A positive, solution-focused attitude
New ideas and community connections
A willingness to help us grow
Fundraising and grant/funding experience
A genuine desire to make healthcare more accessible

We don't just need names on a board — we need people who want to get involved and help move our mission forward.

💙 AND YES… WE NEED FUNDING

Providing free and affordable healthcare takes resources. We need people willing to help organize fundraisers, connect us with businesses and organizations, pursue funding opportunities, and support the clinic financially.

You don't have to be wealthy to make an impact. You don't have to work in healthcare to volunteer. You don't have to have unlimited free time.

Maybe you can give us two hours.
Maybe you can serve on our board.
Maybe your business can sponsor something.
Maybe you know someone who can help us secure funding.
Maybe you can organize a fundraiser.
Maybe all you can do today is share this post.

All of those things matter.

We know this community has an incredible ability to take care of its own. We're asking for your help so we can continue being here to take care of those who need us.

đź“© Interested in volunteering, joining our board, helping with fundraising, or supporting the clinic? Please send us a message on facebook, email [email protected] or text 231-420-2567.

And if you can't help right now, please SHARE this post. The right volunteer, board member, donor, or community partner may be somewhere on your friends list. ❤️

I’d like to take a second to send a HUGE thanks to ALL our volunteers, but an GINORMOUS THANK YOU to tonight’s volunteers!

Between 3 pm and 7 pm we saw 15 patients, 9 also got bloodwork and 1 got her woman’s health screening!!!

This small town has LOTS of generous people, but volunteering in a free clinic AFTER your day job is completely mind blowing!

If you see Sara Wanke, Dr. Leja, Dr. Bacon, Nick Jarvis, Dianne Myers and Steven McCloud around, please thank them for everything they did on August 5 at Northern Care Center!

We have grown so much that we are looking to add extra volunteer nurses and phlebotomist to our group. If you or anyone you know might be able to give a few hours here and there, please have them contact Ashley at 231-420-2567!

Hi Friends, Patients and Supporters!

We are looking for help at the clinic. We have two major things we are looking for, but if you want to do something else, just holler! We'd love to be able to be open more!

Two Things We Need:

#1 More Board Members - We specifically need a treasurer for our board. I'd consider it a pretty simple job, please call/text me with questions - 231-420-2567 (Ashley)

#2 We Need Help Watering Our Summer Flowers - Since we are a volunteer based "business" everyone here also has full time jobs & families. We had BEAUTIFUL flowers planted by Parson Schryer, now we want them to say alive! FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE, but we also know they will need watered every other day, if not more because they are full sun and they are covered by the roof so they wont get water in the rain. Thought maybe if we got a few people that could do certain days of the week we could make a little schedule.

PLEASE reach out if you have ANY QUESTIONS or are able to help!

NEW HOURS COMING!!

REMINDER:

Northern Care Center has supplies and goodwill vouchers available for those in need.
To ensure we can serve as many people as possible, we ask that:
- Limit one visit per household when truly in need
- Bring identification to receive vouchers and/or supplies
- Complete a needs form so we can distribute items fairly

Please note that access to the giveaway closet is limited to staff distribution only. We also do not give every item out to every person every month, as household numbers may not support that need.

We understand that many in low-lying areas may currently be displaced and working to clean and restore their homes after flooding. We are here to help and will do our best to support you during this time.

Additionally, our clinic is open Tuesday evenings. If you’ve lost medications, experienced an injury, or need care, we are here for uninsured and underinsured individuals.
