❤ Micki Klein is our volunteer of the week! ❤

Pediatric hospital patients are often unable to participate in shared activities or use communal supplies due to the health risks involved. Riah’s Rainbow provides new art and craft supplies to these children, which can be important for their emotional well-being. The supplies, which include coloring books, crayons, markers, and puzzles, are safe for immunocompromised children, allowing them to engage in creativity without risk. Micki founded the organization in memory of her daughter Mariah Jean Klein, who lost her battle with a rare type of brain tumor at age four. During Mariah's hospital stays, art and coloring became both a source of comfort and a form of therapy.

Micki serves as the visionary and driving force behind Riah’s Rainbow, transforming her grief into a determination to make a difference. She has given countless hours leading both the strategic direction and the daily operations of this nonprofit. She coordinates and leads community events; purchases and prepares safe, individualized craft supplies; and oversees the distribution of items to pediatric patients and hospitals. Micki dedicates significant time to fundraising, building community partnerships, managing organizational logistics, and ensuring the mission is sustainably carried out. In addition, she mentors and motivates other volunteers, fostering a compassionate, hands-on culture rooted in empathy and purpose. She also inspires others to give back. Many families who once received support through Riah's Rainbow return as volunteers or donors, eager to pay it forward.

Beyond meeting immediate patient needs, Micki has built an organization that supports entire families. Her efforts foster a deep sense of community among parents and caregivers navigating similar challenges. Through compassion, leadership, and tireless dedication, Micki honors her daughter's legacy while making a lasting and meaningful impact on children, families, and the greater community. Thank you, Micki, for providing a powerful example of how one person's commitment can transform lives and bring light to even the darkest moments!

❤ Lynn Thompson is our volunteer of the week! ❤

Evergreen Theater helps provide quality, low-cost theater experiences for the greater Green Bay community, including children of all ages. Lynn has been an Evergreen volunteer for several years, often helping to reupholster antique and donated furniture to be used in productions. This year, when the theater company moved into their new space at the former Keller Elementary School, they were in need of audience seating. Over 100 chairs were donated, but unfortunately, each one had rips in the seat or back. Lynn led a team of volunteers who took the chairs apart, removed the ripped materials, and recovered them with new upholstery. The finished product was a theater full of seating that looks brand new and over 100 chairs saved from the landfill.

For ongoing theatrical shows, Lynn's skills routinely transform donated items into newly reupholstered furniture. The result is that these items are given new life, Evergreen can keep operating costs low, and the audience and actors get to see and use beautiful furniture pieces.

Lynn also has spent countless hours helping organize the massive costume storage area that was in complete disarray following Evergreen's move. Though her volunteering is not on a regular basis, she is always willing to help when a need arises, putting in long hours during the week and on weekends. Thank you, Lynn, for making a big difference for Evergreen Theater and for those who perform in and enjoy their shows!
