How to Help

Volunteer Your Time 
Guiding Star Wakota relies on volunteers to assist with a number of different activities that are critical to its ongoing operation. Volunteer activities include: 
  • Sorting donated baby and maternity clothing 
  • Packing diapers for distributions to new mothers 
  • Doing interior and exterior maintenance on GSW’s new building 
Get your Parish involved: 
    • Host a Diaper Drive to collect diapers (as well as baby wipes, formula, and shampoo) 
    • Hold a Baby Shower to collect donations of toddler clothing (18 months-3T), new maternity clothing, and baby equipment. 
    • Donate handcrafted baby blankets or clothing 
    • Facilitate a Baby-Bottle Fundraiser, where participants fill plastic bottles with loose change 
If you’re interested in organizing a material-assistance project, please info@wakota.org to get started.  
Most volunteer opportunities are flexible on weekdays between 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out the volunteer form.
