WAYS TO SERVE

Since opening the doors of The Hub, our community-wide volunteer connections have soared by 20%.
An expansion of our incredible space at 303 Water Street empowers us to think bigger
and explore brand new ways to engage today’s volunteer.

“As a neighbor to The Hub, the sta and
members of Ozaukee Washington Land Trust
love walking down the Eisenbahn Trail from our

co ee with a new volunteer or supporter. You
can’t always plan on your co ee run being a
quick trip, because you’re likely to run into
familiar faces and launch a conversation about
the latest project in our community.

That’s precisely the bold idea of The Hub. Sitting
down with new and old connections to realize all
the good that is and will be for our community.
Ozaukee Washington Land Trust’s proximity to
The Hub, as well as other nonprofits in the area,
make the expansion of The Hub an attractive
proposal for the community … having available
meeting space located in such a convenient,
central location is a welcome asset.”
